Exactly, the last image doesn't look right, the proportions are off. That might be PS.

Honestly this last image (and its crop) looks very wonky, the wings do not seem to be in proportion to each other.

4th one or 5th one?

4th one or 5th one?

Both, and the wing tip angles are different from previous images.

4th and 5th are the same image anyway to my eyes. Looks to be either a chopped-up J-36 or less likely a J-50.

Allegedly a 4th photo of said unidentified aircraft, likely screenshotted from a video. Posted by @kuanmengchan133 on Twitter.

Assuming that this isn't a PS-ed or CG-ed photograph, then this photo should be showing more details of the aircraft's underside.

It looks very similar to this picture. Probably PSed?

J-36 and J-XDS against this new aircraft at approx the same angle

Probably another boring prank, no video so far, only pictures are unconvincing, pictures are too easy to fake

I might be just schizophrenic or overthinking but there’s a little dip on the edge of that wing. It gives me the idea that there’s a separate trapezoidal section on the wing. Could this be another moving wingtip?

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

Black or no, Chinese CCAs are on a verge of deployment, and S-70 is at least one year into combat trials.

I’d lmfao if it turns out that this is a dedicated trainer for sixth gen…
