Nah government would delete them very quickly. I'm sure someone has already taken clearer, semi-official pictures of this plane already and is just waiting for the go ahead by the government.
We may be only seeing these ones because they're so bad quality.

I think the general sound of it suggests this amy be the real thing. I'm willing to bet a small amount of money that it is. Now we just wait for more and better pictures...

Re: New Generation Fighter

As for the blur-pictures, it is quite understandable: CAC is located somewhere near Chengdu city, and many military fans like to travel around the factory's airport everyday.

The security guards there get used to them, as long as you are Chinese nationals, you can watch the fighters there, but in theory you CANNOT take pictures.

So you cannot go there and bring a huge camre and take pictures there, they will confiscate them and may even arrest you.

According to the eye witness there, on 22/Dec, the securtiy guards are joined with them to watch the fighters, and therefore the security guards are quite near to them.

Thus any early-leaks are most likely taken by phone-camre and taken in a sneaky way to avoid the attentioin of the security guards there, hence the poor image quality.

So the December 22 outing is the first taxi test (more likely the third or fourth)?

Re: New Generation Fighter

In all seriousness, this is the real deal, and this is the first pic leaked of J-XX.

Judging by the timing (so many higher-ups, including even the ex-president of China, Jiang Zemin, paid visits to CAC just days ago), by the many eye witness's independant describation of the fighters on that day, by who taken this picture (the exact guy who is the first who taken a very blur J-10B picture), this is the real deal.

Any guesses on when the first flight is gonna be?

Re: New Generation Fighter

wow, only one week after I post my questions, suddenly a tidbit for us to consider. I'll wait for more info before making a decision. I will say, tough, that if China is testing a platform that looks like this one, ol' Obama just might reconsider cancelling the F-22.

Yeah the taxi rumors were out at the end of October. What I was reading from some of the Chinese forums was anticipation of something happening around the morning Dec. 18th. The 18th passed and nothing until now with all this.

Doesn't make sense...he said for the sake of national security, the plane is 'kept secret' and so he painted the photo, but then say the CG resembles the real thing? Is he contradicting himself or what? Might as well reveal the thing already!!

he upload the photo in fy website about 40 minutes, many people already save the photo. after he found cd website transform his link, he obliterated the photo, I think he dislike cd website, not for " keep secret", there are also "cd moderator is pig ", " PKF is pig " words in the obliterated photo.
30 minutes later, such obliterated photo has been deleted.
our friend 70092 also posted the link at same time:
