according to kanwa.the aircraft been under develop for the last 6~7 year.a picture of a small 1/45th model undergoing test in wind tunnel appear in the 2002 zhuhai airshow. picture re printed in kanwa.

Re: New Generation Fighter

This is probably a PS...

I highly doubt China would allow their top secret new stealth fighter prototype to be seen by spysats. Its not like China doesn't know when they would be overhead.

Aside from the fact that it is unlikely China would allow spy sats to see it, it is an interesting photo.

It is probably a PS, but it's odd in the sense that it is unlike any PS I've seen before...an overhead shot. And the plane looks approximately like the design we have been expecting.

Whoever made it (if it was fabricated) is more knowledgeable than most PSers

Re: New Generation Fighter

Well I remember watching the news I believe was the early 90s where they showed a Pentagon satellite image of what they said was "China's secret stealth fighter." It was the J-10. Yeah these days they'll probably be more careful but it's possible to get an image. If someone can find a satellite image of that airfield that's been out there already, you can probably tell if it's PSed. Also if this were real it would have to be from the military directly wouldn't it? These commercial satellite services on the internet don't update their images that quickly.

Re: New Generation Fighter

According to a thread at Feiyang the original thread where the picture first showed up (CD) was closed. There might be some truth to this.

Re: New Generation Fighter

I am new here to this forum. Hi everyone ! In the above post of the possible Chinese JXX - or J-20 and about the image being taken in broad daylight; well if it was taken by a military or government spysat, it was possibly Japanese spysat (yes Japan has a spy satellite). I know that China tracks all spy sats from countries like the USA and Russia; but do they also track those spysats of other countries like Israel; France and Japan as well?
