This plane is cleaning up nicely. It appears that they like the USAF color scheme too.

It looks like an E/O sensor under the nose and a small lateral exagonal aesa radar next to the missile bay. Like the F-35 and the Pakfa
ReplyDeleteNot sure of this is a genuine picture but if it is, the inlet looks slightly different. The landing gear doors have been changed.Some kind of E/O sensor under the nose has been installed. Quite a lot of work done to it IF this is a real picture and not PS.

Those 2 pictures look even more Photoshopped than the one posted by Alert5.
DeleteDid you see the pictures of taxi, flight, and landing? Those don't look PS to me. Furthermore, I think at this stage, there are enough pictures/videos of the 2011 prototype that there's no strong case to doubt its existence.
DeleteI only did the first 2 pictures, didn't go all the way down. My bad. The other ones also present some problems when you put them thru a picture analysis but I'm not an expert at photo analysis software. The one when 2011 lands with the parachutes open seems legit. Some of the other ones have some issues. I'm not saying 2011 doesn't exist, it does but not sure these are real pictures. I have been to China numerous times, look how everything is "foggy" and real dirty atmosphere but the pictures of 2011 are almost all very clean and sharp.
DeleteHaha... I believe the photos have been digitally enhanced, but not manipulated. Also, having worked in Beijing for a few years, I will testify to the smog (especially in winter); however, even then there are a couple of weeks of clear skies a year!
DeleteFrom the paint job to the logo....do the Chinese not have an original thought in their collective brains?
