One decent video.

The best images so far.

Great images, but I think the second one (the close up) is AI enhanced. Lots of details on the landing gear and the airframe surface have that "smudged" look of AI enhancement

The weapon's bay detail is a dead giveaway of excessive AI tampering.

The images are cropped version of the originals, which were taken by an Oppo Find 8 from a long distance, likely by its telephoto lens. The enhancements were almost certainly done by the phone and can't be avoided. Amended original post to reflect this.

My wish came true!!

OK so... full width 3 section bay, for at least 6, possibly 8 AAMs? What would be the length? Is the side bay long enough for any known SRAAM, or perhaps there is a bespoke short SRAAM created just for the J-50 and probably J-36?

This is the first time I realised tips are rotating for yaw stability using drag, interesting.

Boundary layer suction tech on the intakes??

So no conformal EOTS like that of the J-36. Are those little squares windows for side facing arrays?
