Some satellite images from her latest sea trials.

Are those... Aircrafts on the deck?

I can't tell, and I doubt anyone else can.

I tried Winxvideo AI to run the enhancement process. It looks a little bit better now.

Photo enhancement, AI or not, does not bring out the information that is already lost when the photo was taken. When it is gone it is gone forever. This is natural law which dictates AI and signal processing technologies underneath.

Yeah I don't think there is any way to tell from that image if those were mockups or real aircraft on deck. Image enhancement can only do so much and it's not like mockups and real aircraft look that different. With that kind of definition there's just no way to enhance it to the point we can tell mockups from real aircraft apart.

Shock trials? Nice.

Shock trials? Nice.

Looks like it. I don't think it is a natural phenomenon at any rate.

If they are mockups, how did they get onboard unless they were already onboard when the ship departed?
