It is strange that we have never seen photos or videos that CAC does the same thing (transporting airframe with wings attached to Yanliang for test). When FC-31 did this one may be able to argue that J-20 was made more traditionally, transported with wings detached then reattached in Xian. But it is hard to argue the same reason when J-36 is made from latest tech as SAC has.

I can only think that CAC has its own rig in Chengdu for whatever test that SAC has to send to Yanliang.
Probably CAC decides to let them fly to Yanliang by themselves? Chengdu is much closer to Yanliang than Shenyang

Did anyone download the videos? The links are down for me.
I can't see any of the videos either, did anyone saved at least some screenshots?

I didn't take a copy of it, but for what it's worth it didn't show anything that we haven't seen before, and the aircraft itself was quite a distance from the ground, so there were no new details shown.

It did appear to be taken in winter (snow around) so it certainly could have been taken yesterday given it's the middle of winter.

Really, no-one on Weibo or even X downloaded the clip or even made some screenshots? :oops: :( :confused:
To be honest it was nothing noteworthy. If it was anything near the quality of the new shots of the J-36 I'm sure some (like me) would've archived it. But really, it was practically the same as any other old footage: blurry, far away, with no interesting details that were previously unknown.

PLA secrecy works in magical ways lmao
Reminds me of that one rooftop solar panel battery blocking the view of it doing a turn
