Another one of the latest photos of Fujian.
Really a recent one? The landing strip looks so clean again … or it has been cleaned/resurfaced?
Not exactly sure.
Folks, unpainted mast. 'Tis an old image.
Overflight partial view of Fujian. The flight deck markings have been completed. Posted by @sugar_wsnbn on Twitter.
Seems to be pretty much the same flight deck parking spot markings as on the CV-16/17.

This is interesting. On the surface, this looks like a simple promotional campaign to mark the Fujian's first sea trial anniversary. But when considered alongside the recent, still completely unconfirmed, rumors about a J-35 launch from the 003, it might be a subtle hint that something more substantial is on the horizon. Wouldn't be the first time a lighthearted media push preceded official news.
Also, zooming in on one of the blast deflectors:
Stains on the blast deflection, which is indicative of CATO operations. Lines up well with what the Guancha Trios have mentioned before.
