They remind me of old NASA lifting body designs. Are we sure these are airframes though?

They should just be dismantled GJ-11 mockups (which is said in the original Twitter post by Foolsball)
More interesting is the expansion of the UAV test site

when it comes to things like Super Computers and Quantum Computers, even things like AI and robotics , 5G and 6G communication and satellite and autonomous vehicles China is head of Western nations
so things like GJ11 UCAV will seriously optimised by China and a great platform for fixed wing unmanned aircraft

Any updates on this guy?
The ship has just been sitting in the basin fitting out. Imagery wouldnt show any spectacular changes beyond bits and bobs being added to the hull.

The ship was launched on 27th December 2024, just 4 months ago. Out-fitting will take a longer time than type 075 because this is the lead ship with a lot of new innovations, and it is also a larger ship.
Optimistically we might see her first sea trial before end of 2025, but I think Q1 or Q2 2026 would be more likely.
