Dozens of J-10C/J-16 carried live AAMs and simulated gaining air superiority with the assistance of refuelers, AWACs, and EW planes during the Joint Swords combat exercise in the Taiwan Strait.

Sun Cong, chief design of Shenyang AVIC, gave a speech titled "Development and Prospect of Fighter technology" recently.

Two mysterious planes in the background.

The one behind him looks like a 5.5 or 6th gen airframe. Kind of like the Franco-German FCAS.
That one on top looks like a high speed reconnaissance platform of some sort. Kind of SR-71ish.

I wouldn't look too deeply into planes in the background of these presentations. If I were to give a presentation on similar topic and need a background image to make my slides look cooler, I'd google some cool aircraft renders and add them too.

Or maybe the Soviet's DSB-LK-ish supersonic strategic bomber from the 1960s.

But if I am not mistaken, he specifically use Shenyang-designed aircraft in his background picture.

I am not quite familiar with aircraft though, they are J-8, two flanker variants, GJ-11, FC-31 demonstrator and J-35 then the two mysterious planes in my untrained eyes. It is a great leap forward for them in term of presentation skill.

No I’m almost certain that it is a loyal wingman.

Would be interesting to have the engine in the wings indeed to make place for a deep weapon bay.

It’s probably a super high speed wingman. Might be an evolution of the sharp sword concept.
