Odd that the EOTS is just transparent

LRIP and delivery to test and evaluation units by 2028, just before F-47 first flight?

 

[Nevermore]

Well, as others pointed out in the past these jets fly regularly over the heads of people in cities, in plain sight. It is extremely likely there are good inflight pictures of the same quality of these on the tarmac we see now. Probably the more remarcable part is we haven't had decent pictures all this time. Well, WZ-X and GJ-X show that if they really want proper OPSEC, they can do it.

Indeed, we have never seen the WZ-X, GJ-X, or various CCA and unmanned fighter jets before.

It is not ruled out that it is still in the prototype stage and has not installed all the equipment, but this is in contradiction with the progress of removing the pitot tube,that's confusing.

No, it's just that for prototypes and even LRIP they'd just have a solid mock-up like on the J-35A and F-35 prototype. If this is real, it kinda of looks off as every other one have tinted window.

Understandably, the test flights have not yet reached the stage of testing the EOTS. The removal of the pitot tube merely signifies that the aerodynamic design has been largely confirmed, and this is only the first flight following its removal.

About those sensors, what are the chances they are actually active defence systems like Su-57 has? Would certainly expect DIRCM on a 6th gen fighter.

Could be a giant HUD that goes from edge to edge?

 

[burritocannon]

sure is ugly enough in the right places to be a real image
