More images of what appears to be the same mystery UAV.
An alleged sighting of yet another flying wing, but I can't verify the photo's authenticity beyond knowing the OP isn't a crackpot or fanboy:

Well the photos have timestamps on them, and if the timestamps have not been doctored in any way, these seem to be very recent photos. Which lines up temporally-speaking with the recent video footage of the same drone.More images of what appears to be the same mystery UAV. Not sure when these were taken.

The more interesting question is where these photos were taken. Any idea which region or city these photos are from?
US high end CCA is entirely in the black as noted by Kratos and General Atomics on separate occasions. The only thing we know of these upper tiers effort is a release statement of Kratos Thanatos which completed first flight back in december 2024
Also I have always put Gus in TWZ surface level of analysis. now it's confirmed the guy admitted he regular uses them as source

what is that? manned jet or CCA? I can't tell.
Actually I have no idea … my first thought was, it looks almost to big and different to the other seen CCAs.
That's apparently a patent for a variable-sweep wing carrier-based aircraft (变后掠翼舰载机) design, or so it reads, assigned to Northwestern Polytechnical University (西北工业大学), which is no ordinary school.
They've done a significant amount of work for the Chinese military-industrial complex over the decades, on top of the human capital they've trained and contributed.
For example, the good folks at 西北工业大学 — or more precisely, a subordinate institute, laboratory and/or subsidiary — were responsible for designing and engineering the ASN-301 loitering munition:
The networks of 西北工业大学 have , which should tell you that some of their aviation projects don't exactly exist to train undergrads, but principally to yield deliverables that'll shape and impact the battlefield.
