To admit that thing is too strange to be some sort of J-31.V2 !

- it's not at SAC ... if there's not a material stress-testing site at Xi'an related
- it's too large (close to a Raptor)
- reportedly there wasa General Aviation & Technology at Pucheng exhibition ... maybe there was a F-22-model on display ?

It simply does not fit a J-31.

Could it be photoshop?

According to posts on Weibo, a F-22 alike object is found at Pucheng Neifu Airport, Shannxi on Google map.

Could be something destined for a theme park or a museum. Wouldn't be the the 1st time this sorta confusion happened. IIRC once there was Apache mockup being transported.

Perhaps the German language version draws from a different database?

I think google earth images gets updated more often than google map, which seems to only be update maybe once or twice a year.

Off topic: Google streetview requires Google vehicles to roll on streets to update images. It's not an easy job to update a whole globe.

Google streetview also depends on where you are. e.g. Downtown NY would get updated more often then some random small town where almost nobody goes.

Back to the topic ... IMO clearly a F-22-model or mock-up !
