Translation stated the proposal for 6th gen, fighter from shenyang are more advance,it incorporate AI tech.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings...

The more exact/accurate translation of the comments would be:

A: So is this final (i.e. Chengdu AC's proposal for the J-XD being selected)? (Are they) looking down on Shenyang AC?

B: No, Shenyang AC also (has their own J-XD project). This time, it will be a bidding competition (between both ACs) with actual/physical demonstrator/prototype aircrafts, but Shenyang AC's concept/technology demonstrator/prototype will only take flight next year.

Shenyang AC's proposal is more radical (激进) - That is, by having greater degree of reliance on artificial intelligence. I like (Shenyang AC's proposal) more, but of course I don't know which one will be picked eventually.

I would suggest taking that claim from the aforementioned comments with a pinch of salt, given that the person who said that isn't as/that well-known/reputable in the Chinese defense community (namely, carrying higher risks of the source of information being "I made it up myself").

It must also be noted that the above comments preceded @鹰眼军事's quote post, as per my post above.

Mainly obtained from scouting the comment sections underneath the Weibo posts by the You-know-whoS concerning the news and rumors about Chengdu AC's J-XD.

But again, I cannot guarantee the veracity of such claims as of present. Hence this post of mine from late-November:

From the quote-post:

All 6th generation fighter jet will be incorporating AI tech. I would expect J-20A and J-35A to incorporate AI tech too. There is really nothing magical about that.

jIf we look back on the 5th gen development. China was at a much weaker point financially and technologically. Even so, PLA still funded 2 5th generation projects. Given that J-35A R&D team is so young and the development for J-35 projects will slow down over next 2 to 3 years, it seems logical they will increase workload on 6th gen project

I'm actually wondering about what AI tech is defined as in this instance. Is it just fancier decision trees and higher levels of automated mission planning/diagnostics?

Based on my knowledge it just seems like a bunch of unrelated technologies (swarm, datalink sharing, UAV control) bunched into a catch all term.

Pardon, which translated original post?

 

[kriss]

The comic guy while reliable for most of time he did once draw that comic stating there is a second PL-10 in J-20's side bay.

Basically this one as well.



More specifically, this one (which is part of the original post that was quote-posted by @鹰眼军事):

*Cough cough*

Due to *ahem* maintenance works on the *ahem* grass lawns and park amenities *ahem*, Chengdu AC Park will be closed from today (Dec 12) until the last day of the year.



For reference, the location of the park (blue bracketed area):

Was this the only location where the wall climbers are able to peek into the airfield? IIRC many leaked photos were taken near both or one of the ends of the runway.

Isn't there also an elevated location overlooking the runway called 黄田坝? I heard it will also be unavailable this time around but where about on the map is it? It's not a formal name on the map but more of a nickname as I understand it.
