Ayi: The first batch of commercial satellite photos of the parade village were cheap photos from Google Earth bought by civilian enthusiasts. The United States has so many think tanks that study China, but these people think that the things that appear in the parade village are "meaningless" or even "not worth news", so no one plans to spend money to go to Maxer or Planet to take a look.

Yeah, these photos are all from early June, and media like TWZ neither wrote articles nor wanted to buy recent photos for further analysis. What's going on?
You can't exactly expect them to post like a month straight of China strong news. Rogoway already did that piece recently with the

Think tanks operate as businesses, where business priorities outweigh technical considerations.

A thought after seeing Deino annoyed by a random stupid Indian tweet

Aerial rehearsal has already shown that the J-10C did not get a chance to participate. We all know this is due to generational transition.

But I bet, there will be a bunch of Indians claiming it’s because the J-10C failed in the India-Pakistan conflict and the PLA is too ashamed to show it again

We know J-10Cs will definitely be present as part of August 1st, so technically the argument wouldn't even make sense if it was a question of "pride".

That said I don't think we need to preemptively consider bad quality argument from communities that don't know better. Why does this forum even need to acknowledge stupid takes on twitter in the first place?

It will probably be in the formation presenting the evolution of the airforce as the last "past" fighter instead of the formations presenting current capabilities and future endeavors.

He's stuck in his cooldown period, someone else has to take over his job for the time being.

and Thomas Newdick?

Oh my, that is a rather unfortunate surname.

You very well know why. We just need to moderate it more imo.
