Some procurement documents from Sheyang Aircraft Corporation for a new "comprehensive assembly plant" located in the Shenbei New Industrial Zone (沈北新厂区). The assembly building has an area of 280,450 square meters. The project will take two years, with construction set to begin around June 20, 2023 and end around June 30, 2025.

A screenshot of a research paper on a smoke pod designed to harass unauthorized/adversary aircraft. It's capable of generating a long-lasting and large body of smoke to negatively affect the forward visibility and engine stability of targeted aircraft.

Definitely a great tool for the PLAAF and PLANAF to conduct proper "welcoming" ceremonies for all those unwelcomed planes that have been sucking up and down the Chinese coastline like leeches.

Perhaps, even better would be instead of just spraying large plumes of smoke, these devices can spray opaque, hard-to-remove paint too...

I found a grainy map of the Shenyang's new production facility (highlighted in blue), which is located within a larger area called Sheyang Aviation Park. It's apparently a very large plot of land (44.2 square kilometers) that will not only contain new production facilities, but also permanent housing for employees and their families.
