I concur that it's different, but you can indeed make out the tailsting in that.


Then your intake ducting would need to avoid that part and therefore run into the landing gear bay. No.

We genuinely should stop shooting shots in the dark until actual discernable imagery appears.
The only new thing I see here that we didn't know before is some sort of bump before the intakes and the general position of the EOTS. So not all that much to be honest.

1.I don’t think color is a issue.If you compare those CAC aircraft images, some of them look dark and others look gray-white

2.Though the video provide more information, it’s still vague.I can say for sure wether there is a “sting”
No; the airframe is clearly white or light gray. In fact you can make out what seems to be a black outline on the inside of the planform and wings. It is not one of those situations where the airframe is black and merely reflecting sunlight.

Another giveaway is the pitot tube, which is absent on the black airframe spotted earlier.
Video of the "black" airframe for comparison (no pitot tube):

The landing gear bays are at the sides of the rectangular lump. If those lumps are big enough thay can hold a IWB each.
But you’re right.These are all guesses. More information is needed.

Why is it more likely that both planes are the same model and not one of them is a CCA as hinted by previous teapot analogies?
