We should start Aesthetic Thread. Please vote for Team CAC or Team SAC!!!

Sorry but it'll be an EFFORTLESS mog from the J-XD-S to the J-36

Exhilarating to see it flying, yet so frustrating to not have a decently clear video/photo of J-50, at least to the level we've seen for J-36. I know why of course (OPSEC etc.), but still.

The North's secrecy measures are so strict that even a low-flying plane would turn into a black mass

In comment sections, some hint they have J-50's on-ground photos. Afraid of being arrested, they don't dare to release.

Friends in Shengyang need to stop applying duck fat on phone lenses!

Buddy was eating fried chicken when it flew over apparently, jeez. Talk about timing.

Nah, my focus was on the nozzles.

Kind of looks like they cut the tails off of JH-XX?

I can’t wait to see what the whole tea set looks like (CCAs etc.), for J-36 too.

Is there a way to prevent or mock mercilessly these chengdu fanbois from switching camp?

The SHADE nickname actually fits ong

It's their greasy fried chicken fingers from KFC that smeared the camera lens.

Right wingtip, ~2-3 seconds.

I thought it might be that, though in that particular video I felt it's less a "can see" and more "barely make out in context of poor video quality".

That said of course the all moving wingtips definitely exist and there is other footage and imagery where it is rather prevalent.
