11th Helicopter Regiment (Mi-8 + Ka series, UAVs)
2nd Special Aircraft Regiment (Y-8Q)

@Rupprecht_A Hello Rupprecht, I really really loved the interview you've done with hushkit in hushkit.net/2021/01/11/eve… , I search for other interviews or youtube videos and didn't find anything, do you have anything else to follow? Thank you very much.

Another theory! 🤔

Just spoke with a photo decipher guy and he thinks it is indeed in fact 65654, which would be neither the 55th AB at Jining (CTC), nor the 54th AB (STC) at but the 44th AB (NTC) at Hohhot-Bikeqi, a J-7G unit! 😯

I'm still confused but what do you think?

As it seems, the images posted this morning are indeed real! Here are better ones showing the PLANS-18 'Fujian' with the landing strip clearly marked.

Not sure if legit 🤔... IMO the lading strip looks manipulated! But if real, then this is the most recent image of the PLANS-18 'Fujian'.

CH-3D UCAV has conducted its first public appearance. Aimed to be exported globally and rival the Turkish TB2 UCAV.

Improvements from the A version include:
- SATCOM antennas
- Composite materials instead of fiberglass
- Improved electro-optics and engines

Ok, with now almost confirmed to be from the 54th Air Brigade at Ningxiang (ETC), wouldn't it be nice to see a similar unit artwork on their new J-20s as seen on the old Su-30MKK?

I find it interesting that recently more & more images of the J-20A were leaked including rumours mentioning additional prototypes (2053 & 2056) but all are too blurry to really show something meaningful.
As such, they are playing with us again.

老妖孽🇨🇳 咋说,按18-20为1128模式,21以后为2323模式,还有23年初的CB07156。
我的判断是:
17年加上原型机有18架
18年生产6架
19至20年年产24架
21年生产40架
22年生产50架
23年生产60架
今年年初时歼20累计产量估计为222架,今年年尾应该是接近300了。

Zhuhai's many HQ J-20 pics provide a great opportunity to update the old EOPDS 3-view.

As seen, J-20's EOPDS apertures are located akin to F-35 for 360 degree spherical coverage too. But whether J-20 has EODAS like capability is unknown. At minimum it's likely a spherical MAWS.

Húrin In fact I'm still not 100% sure ... if you look closely, then the penultimate digit looks more like a 5 than a 6, which would suggest 66x54 instead of 66x64 and that would make it the 54th AB, which would be another surprise.
