Whyt makes you think the GJ-21 are real? IMO they are too crude … just look at the intake, exhaust, landing gears …

Yes, and the picture in that post shows the Type B, which has a fitted tarp that clearly shows the diamond wing as well as the tail protrusion. The other picture does not show a significant tail protrusion, which is being explained away by a loosely fitting tarp. That seems unlikely to me as air should gather in the back of a loosely fitting tarp and instead of showing a fairly sharp wing trailing edge it should be more rounded.
I suppose. But the trios claimed that the GJ-21 is real and flew into Beijing. There is an H number serial under the fuselage, but that also doesn't necessarily mean it's real technically.
Remember it's two gj21 not one so one could have flew in and put on the truck while the other is a mockup that is shown in the parade that's a possibility

It's not what we think, but rather the statement from the usual fellows on the Chinese language side saying it is the case.
I'm a little bit skeptical like you are, but if they say so then I'm willing to entertain it.
My understanding is that the one that was paraded was a real airframe that flew in before being mounted on the truck.
But the landing gear design makes no sense for PLAN. Why single front wheel? If anything the UADF with DSI is the more likely one, since it has double front wheel and the landing gear looks more sturdy.
A very interesting side-view image of the UADF(lambda-wing), clearly showing its weapon bay layout.
It appears the air intake passes through the mid-fuselage, while the IWB is positioned on the sides?
you spotted a H-number? Where?
