Sino-Su-34 a-like? Would make sense in that SAC have a lot of experience with Flanker-derived designs but OTOH not the kind of stealth or range we're expecting for JH-XX.

Can anyone identify the blurred airframe in the background? The image was taken at Shenyang. I'm not sure what it is, but it could just be a Flanker or some other known airframe in a state of assembly. According to the yellow placard in the second image, the location is Shenyang's new equipment testing/integration service center, or something along those lines.
It’s really just a support structure. No friggin idea why they gave it the mosaic treatment.

Is it just a support structure though? It looks like there is a fuselage mounted on it that's under assembly.

Thank you!
Dear Mama Senate, we need money, lots of money.
Capacity of SAC and CAC combined is around 150ish for one year. Either they miscounted the in 2020 or, far more likely scenario, they copied the number off some Sina military writer, who pulled his number out of his own rearend.
More money won't help them. Every one of their facilities is running at full capacity already.
Or... perhaps you're underestimating SAC and CAC's combined capacity, since we're considering the range of possibilities here. Given SDF's standard of rigour (which I appreciate), the conclusions we draw about numbers and ORBAT is often out of date.
