No it's real. I posted the GE photo of the same spot at Dingsheng. Only the 2014 number is a speculation.


But aren't these RCS/EW-testing images not from two different locations or at least test stands ? This one has a solid, column-like pylon or attachment, whereas the first You posted has an angled dagger-like appearance !

J-20 RCS and EW test stands.jpg

Could You please post the coordinated for the facility at Dingsheng ? ... and where is the other one ?

At the CDF someone mentioned the EW-test stand to be at Dujiangyan, the RCS stand is at an unknown location or is that yours ?

By the way, ... I want '2101' in the AIR !!!

Really ?? Did I miss this discussion a few pages before ?

We know that the satellite photos are real, but the one in question doesn't share its background with that of the satellite photos. Also, why would they surround an rcs testing site with hills (which amplify background noise)?

Hmmm ... !? :cool:

Your argument makes sense if both would show the same site, what they definitely do not. Just look at the poles/pylons, they are so much different that are simply not the same ... as such it does not (at least IMO) any sense to look for geographical matches.

IMO Your argument for the RCS-test site is valid, but if the other one shows a J-20 mounted on a EW-test facility I'm not sure if it would disturb the results.
