Chengdu next gen combat aircraft (?J-36) thread

Big powers only don't fight each other directly because they can actually fight each other directly.

They wont fight each other... its not worth it... maybe support a partner but never fight directly...

The first image is especially nice and gives a good look at the dorsal side. It's too blurry to tell for sure, but the cockpit appears fairly wide.

With these images, I have quite a solid idea on how it looks like already. However the cockpit/canopy is still mystery to me. Is it side by side or tandem seating.

looks wide enough to me to still be a side by side cockpit. the darkest patch on the cockpit represents a pretty wide front windscreen and you dont have wide, flat windscreens if you only got single row seating.

my interpretation.

A good video + more screen caps.

Is this two-color camouflage used for the first time？

 

[burritocannon]

it looks to be the same pattern we saw since the debut to me?

Can anyone see any movement in the control surfaces in the back as the plane banks in for landing? I keep seeing small stutters but I think that is the video quality, not movement.
