According to Captain小潇 on weibo, what we saw on 26th is a manned aircraft
Translation:
Last night, when talking to a big shot about the sixth generation aircraft of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, one thing that can be confirmed is that the aircraft is a manned aerial vehicle, not a drone. It is a real teapot, not a teacup. It is reported that the aircraft made its maiden flight in November and only made its public appearance in mid December. Unlike the Big Triangle of CAC, the sixth generation aircraft of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation places more emphasis on air maneuverability and air superiority, and also takes into account carrier based capabilities. Both the north and south pursue long range, large payload, omnidirectional stealth performance, and high situational awareness, and can command drone operations.
