The truck ( actros 3344 locally assembled) dimensions:
that’s not the same truck in the picture. take a look at it again.
That or something new and I do not believe the Chinese would ship a new fighter this way. It doesn’t make sense, especially if they would want to keep it under wraps. Now, if they did want the world to know, they’re on the right track.
I do not believe the PLAAF has an aircraft that can accomodate an ICBM, hence the truck (if that even is an ICBM). The alleged L-15 could probably fit inside of an Il-76. Why not do that?
Il-76 can accommodate bigger aircraft too, see MiG-23
As for mystery airplane in China, I don’t know what it is, but I do feel certain its likely NOT a full scale version of the stealth fighter mock up by Shenyang. The nose is too blunt compared to the model, and the area surrounding the canopy already looks different.
And how would You Mr. Mastermind put a fighter of that span into an Il-76 ???
I agree with You that does not prof that thing to be a prototype but it is definitly more than You like to expect as it seems.
Besides that also the F-35 seems to have a single piece wing structure …
Deino
no need to be rude, stealth fighters have been transported before.
At least the composite skin covers wing-fuselage of F35 is formed in once piece do you agree? Well, I know at least that of Boeing X-32 was done this way.
It’s unusual about its level and scale:
They are SWAT team if you familar with Chinese Police Unit uniforms
And you also have to consider the main express way network in north China is sealed block by block, in order to give way for this special convoy, which causes massive chaos along the way. But it actually works for us as the traffic information helps locate the convoy’s whereabout.
And the Audi A6 which we used for measuring the length of this aircraft is a military vehicle. But escort still carried by civil forces as it’s civil matter.
here’s a picture of an aircraft being loaded into an Il-76
did you know PLAAF operates Il-76?
in fact here’s a picture
lets see what makes more sense..
transport top secret fighter on road that takes time to travel on and spend lots of money on security
or send top secret fighter by air, does not require swat team.
Nor sure if its an accurate representation or the aspect ratio of AMCA is really that narrow.
it does look really narrow.. either the missiles are also very thin or the aircraft is going to be looong. maybe not J-20 long, but long.
