Mysterious sighting on August 4th, 2025: CCA or manned aircraft? Theories and speculation!

the trailing edges not aligned for stealth reason, the outline of the frontal section blurs alot more than the seemingly unnaturally clear trailing edge. I'm leaning towards fake.

If real, it might even be refined version of j-36 which means j-36 we'd seen has been flying for quite sometime and brought out recently to beat the deadline of celebrating the ccp anniversary. Now we see a more refined version making maiden flight.

This isn't unprecedented, as Turkey KAAN 1st prototype (0) is said to differ alot from the 2nd prototype in the making.

don't compare China's military industry to clownish Turkish behavior.

I see why the mods on this board is so strict and heavy handed, cause amongst the informative and analytical posts there dotted by low IQ nationalistic posts like these.

I don’t think we can draw conclusions until more videos and clearer images are available.

No, the TWZ usually only makes one ... publishing several stupid reports on the same topic is more NationInterst's job!
