Surely it's fake. No pitot and whatever the hell is going on with the canopy and dorsal intake.

It looks to me like someone put the original image into an AI generator and asked it to "provide slightly offset angles" of the same picture, which allowed some aspects of the overall shape to be retained at a "different angle" but lost many of the details and added in some hallucinatory/false details.

But who knows.

Cus it's a killer.

Okay, from here can people stop memeing and making references to other things now, as well as low effort one sentence posts or replies. There are enough posts in the thread over the last day, and the way this forum works means it is only able to display ten posts per page.

If each page has two or more joke posts, that really starts to add up and detracts from the useful discussion.

Further posts of this nature will be deleted, not because I want to be strict but because it makes these flagship threads more challenging to read.

Or it could be indeed another photo from slightly different angle, but details are missing due to AI "enhancement"

Yes,Robot "Eve" from kids'movie "WALL-E"-I knew all that money/time /mental duress taking kids/nephews/nieces to all their movies would come in handy one day!!BTW I think this leak is a sanctioned deliberate move from PLAAF to USAF for Trumps bragging about F47,F55 and F35plus as of late-like Bruce Lee wagging his hand at would-be-opponent to come forward and fight.I love the PLAAF etc but I won't climb the wall and take unauthorized photos-I can improve my Mandarin in other more pleasant ways.,

Air brake would not be shaped like that.

Micro missile housing wouldn't need to come out like that or if it's a cover for the housing, it wouldn't open in such a fashion.

There is no depth for micromissiles in that location anyway.

This image is clearly fake. The dorsal intake from other angles of actual photos show blended continuity. This image does not and no it is not the camo. Come on guys. Pages of incorrect speculation.

It is a fake image or a heavily doctored image particularly the dorsal intake park of the image.

i think there are too many novel details that agree with what we've seen from other photos like the dihedral angle that artists have failed to attend to. in other words, i find the photo weird in all the places artists wouldn't typically be interested in. on that basis i think the image is real, but heavily postprocessed.

So there are more photos out there?
this one however i agree may be ai generated. too crisp in certain places, canopy "cover" that has magically appeared, missing nose probe.
