I got a notification of a new post in this thread and thought we were finally getting J-20B butt pics. I hate you.

Hard to say it's a landmark, he isn't the first arrested military fan. Taking photos or videos of classified areas and then sharing them has been deemed illegal for many years. This guy was caught red-handed while operating the drone near the shipyard in 2021.
This is the report , containing three cases. Two of them were discovered on the spot, and the other one uploaded his photos to an online map (Google Earth, I guess). They all received probation. I think the purpose of choosing to disclose these cases is to remind military fans not to violate the law for ostentatious purposes.
He overdid it, as well as, he spread it to the extranet.
The shipyard clearly knew that there were military fans who took short flights just to photograph the aircraft carrier, as well as the fact that military fans hired fishing boats for at least ￥30,000 to take pictures when the carrier was launched.
I would interpret this as a protective measure to warn the fans, because the shipyard did catch someone even crazier who could be considered as "talented".
No I’m saying WS-15 on J-20B is a landmark event, so I wish for leniency with the opsec restrictions around sharing photos of it.
Which airbases in the STC have J-20s right now? Shaoguan and Guilin?

Would it be safe to assume this was done on the new airframe (J20B)?
