Satellite images have surfaced suggesting that the Chinese military is practicing strikes on replicas of U.S. fighter jets. The images, taken in May, show a model aircraft carrier and over 20 replicas of U.S. stealth fighters in the Taklamakan Desert.
What Happened: The images, taken by Google Earth on May 29, were shared on X, formerly Twitter, by the Turkey-based Clash Report, according to South China Morning Post.
The post suggested that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force pilots were practicing air strikes on mock-ups of American F-35 and F-22 jets.
