Some aircraft mockup models wrapped under scaffolding mounted on trucks, seen on satellite imagery at the military parade training base outside of Beijing. Are those mockup models of the J-36 and J-XDS for the September 3rd parade? The silhouettes look similar.

Other truck-mounted (mainly) drone mockups for the military parade, at the same location. The satellite imagery is dated 12 June 2025. Posted by @type36512 on Twitter.

A SINGLE underground parking lot can have a capacity of 2,400 parking spaces just FYI.

I am sure China can do an order of magnitude better than Toronto.
It is likely that OP was questioning with the mentality of typical North American commuters. Therefore huge parking lots are a must for industrial parks of this size. But this is China.

It is well known that most large SOEs in China operate big fleets of private buses for their employees to commute between work and home daily.

If requested, the municipal government of Shenyang will be more than happy to extend existing bus and subway lines to have this new SAC site covered.

Shenyang is also famous for its short distance passenger trains travelling between industrial areas and some population centres.

Agreed. I was just laughing at his notion that endless acres of open parking lots would be needed. Such a backwards suburbanite mentality.

I'll be really disappointed if the GJ-11 is displayed on a transporter truck again at this year's parade - six years after its debut. I was genuinely looking forward to seeing it fly in formation with the J-20s. :(
