According to the poster, this might be the rarely seen JL-15 carrierborne jet trainer for CV-18 Fujian, with enlarged wings and modified horizontal stabilizers

Assuming that North Korean man there is 165cm tall, I estimate this drone to be ~11m long, with ~24-25m wingspan.
Size is similar to CH-7, but design is different. MTOW probably around 8,000-12,000 kg.
Layout gives me strike vibes, but it could very well be a HALE drone.

A new type of large ECM pod was spotted under the outer wing pylons of a PLAAF H-6KG

Size comparison of the internal weapon bays from J-35, J-20S, and J-50, showing roughly the same length. This indicates that the majority of the missile types three fighter aircraft capable of carrying are the same. The difference lies in the width and depth

The key priorities of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur (KnAAZ) include the production of Su-35S and Su-57 fighter jets, the prospective T-75 (Su-75) light fighter, and the SJ-100 regional passenger aircraft.

Ya está preparada la entrada sobre las producciones del Sujoi Su-57... hay que decir que han superado las previsiones que se publicaron años atrás. Recordemos que actualmente KnAAZ está cumpliendo el primer contrato de 76 aparatos y lo hará antes de tiempo lo que le permitirá...

The Su-57 features a new Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System (EO DAS), which could potentially provide a high-resolution Missile Warning System (MWS) capability using LWIR/MWIR thermal cameras.

Picture from winter (a bit of higher quality than in tweet below). As you can see by a formation light near the main radome and enlarged HUD, this is a new production airframe.
This photo has been circulating private TG-chats for a while, took so long before it leaked

As others have already reported, the SAC J-XDS prototype has been spotted once again, and if I'm not mistaken, this one differs yet again from the aircraft seen before: In particular, the radome is clearly lighter in colour, suggesting that a radar has been installed.

Su-35S, MiG-29K, and MiG-29M/M2 have received RCS reduction treatments, including radar-absorbing coatings and techniques aimed at reducing head-on RCS. Their frontal RCS has reportedly been reduced by ~5–10 times. Recent reports suggest similar measures for the Su-34.

patreon.com/jhst3103/posts/g… Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) is therefore pursuing a large-scale R&D program for advanced aero-engines under an interministerial joint-planning framework. At the 2026 Gas Turbine Symposium, Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources (MOTIR) and Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) outlined plans to achieve self-reliance in materials and component technologies and establish test facilities needed to support advanced aero-engine development. They intend to incorporate engine performance requirements and module-specific operating conditions from early stages of R&D and secure core materials, components, and infrastructure ready for system integration in line with the full-engine development schedule.
