By the way in case I missed it, a J-20 hasn’t been seen yet?

Looks like a chonkier version of LRASM/JASSM, lol - Or maybe that's caused by photograph issue.

Probably a VLO cruise missile, with the designation CM-98. Posted by @马妍 on Weibo.

That looks identical to AKF-98 from Zhuhai 2022

Which one?

Well, that's what I'm asking! The UAV mentioned in the PLAAF press briefing along with the J35A and HQ19.

Is this AESA radar or PESA?

none, it’s not a radar but ballast

Seems the Russians are allowing full unimpeded access to the static frame. Obviously not particulary clean either.
