Perhaps because the United States and its allies have been peeking out of the sky so often, the Chinese military has to put up its own tactics to trick foreign intelligence, especially regarding the existence of a relatively strategic defense equipment system.
As recently as not long ago, satellite photos emerged showing a group of fighter jets similar to the Chengdu J-20, which were parked on the tarmac of one of the remote air bases.
Quoted from thedrive.com (15/9/2022), the satellite photos come from the Google Earth database which were taken on July 14, 2022. Posted by the Twitter account @foolsball, it is stated that the location of the photo is at Lintao Air Base, a relatively undeveloped facility. clear which is located in the northeast of Lanzhou, in Gansu Province, north central China.
It shows the parking formation of eight 'airframes' of fighter jets similar to the J-20. However, there is something odd about the sighting of the J-20 at the remote airfield. It is strongly suspected that the fighter jet formation was a decoy in the form of an imitation of the Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter.
It is not clear what China's intention was to install decoys at remote bases, generally the purpose of deploying decoys was to mislead or deceive foreign intelligence analysts.
Lintao Air Base is usually home to Chengdu J-7H fighters of the 18th Air Regiment, of which 13 can also be seen in the photo, on the same flight path north of the facility, covered in a red/pink tarpaulin.
There have been reports in the past that the base would receive Shenyang J-11 Flanker fighter jets, to replace the J-7, but there has been no direct evidence that such a conversion has taken place.
The appearance of a mysterious fighter jet similar to the J-20 at Lintao, apparently did not last long. On inspection of satellite photos on September 9, 2022, the eight J-20s were no longer on site.
If the sighting was intended to be a J-20 decoy, there are various details that do not match the original aircraft. The mysterious aircraft had its delta wings trimmed to near perfection, rather than the slightly 'rotating' appearance of the J-20's wings, which had prominent leading root extensions. Surprisingly, this 'decoy' also seems to have a very pointed nose and is more slender, even needle-like.
If that wasn't bait, then it would be very rare for the Chinese military to show its new generation aircraft in broad daylight. During this time, China's top-secret military aircraft programs tended to remain highly hidden until a decision was made at the highest levels to divulge some information.
However, it is not impossible that what we see at Lintao does have a connection with a fighter or drone program that is still kept secret. Until now, the appearance of a fighter jet similar to the J-20 at Lintao Air Base still invites various speculations.
