Hidden beneath tarpaulins, an uncommon sight at Chinese shipyards, a new trimaran-hulled vessel appears to combine features of both surface ships and submarines. Satellite imagery suggests it may be uncrewed, designed for high-speed operations. Though its purpose remains unknown, the project reflects the accelerating pace and growing sophistication of China’s naval innovation.

 
China’s New Tailless Stealth Fighters Both Appear At Secretive Test Base

The J-36 and J-XDS have operated out of a rapidly expanding base that could well become China's Area 51.

We now have the first known commercial satellite imagery of the two Chinese sixth-generation stealth fighter designs that emerged nearly a year ago. The aircraft, which are commonly referred to now as the J-36 and the J-XDS, have been spotted in separate images not at their home airfields where they were built, but at a secretive airbase with a massive runway situated near the Lop Nur nuclear test site in northwestern China.

The J-36, readily identifiable by its large modified delta planform and ‘splinter’ camouflage paint scheme, is seen outside the main hangar at the facility’s central apron in an archived satellite image taken on August 27, which The War Zone obtained from Planet Labs. The J-XDS is seen in another Planet Labs image of the airfield taken on September 13. Previously, the J-36 and J-XDS have only been definitively spotted flying in and out of the main airfields associated with their respective manufacturers, Chengdu and Shenyang. Readers can find TWZ‘s very in-depth initial analysis on the J-36 and the J-XDS here.

 
PRC 'Blackhawk'

I love how every Chinese decades long copy effort is spun into grandiosity online.

They have now reached 1978 with their copy.

Is it a well thought through design engine performance reliability any performance values at all?

The article just concentrates on how great and agile it is (seems) at an airshow...
 


At some point they will see how much it costs to maintain them and train sufficiently.

Same goes for their infrastructure. Just building things isn't all.

An air group comprising Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers and Chinese Hong-6K bombers conducted a patrol over the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, and the western Pacific Ocean. Fighter cover was provided along the entire flight route by Russian Su-30SM and Su-35S aircraft, as well as J-16 and J-11BS aircraft. The air group was also supported by a Chinese KJ-500A airborne early warning and control aircraft, providing reconnaissance and command support for the mission. South Korean F-35As were also spotted. The patrol lasted approximately eight hours.

"100% Made-in-China Carrier HUMILIATED! Floating "Defenseless Trap," 6-Day Leash & Jets Can't Fly*China's first "100% Made-in-China" aircraft carrier, the Shandong, has been humiliated* by analysts as a "Paper Dragon." Despite the $9 billion price tag, this floating fortress is plagued by a fatal *"6-Day Leash"* due to its outdated steam propulsion and massive fuel consumption.This investigation exposes the shocking reality behind the propaganda. We analyze why the J-15 "Flying Shark" is mocked as a *"Flopping Fish"* that can't launch with full weapons, and why the carrier is *"legally blind"* in deep water without E-2D radar planes.We also dig into the "Six-Day Leash" logistics nightmare that tethers the ship to vulnerable oil tankers, turning the "Pride of the Navy" into a massive floating target."

The Chinese army has released footage of its troops training in anticipation of the emergence of drones on the battlefield. Drones have changed the course of combat. While air defense and electronic warfare systems are currently unable to fully counter drones, training is especially important. Troops are moving, exploiting terrain and any obstacles to reduce the threat of drone strikes.
