A newly emerged photo of the still-mysterious Chinese tailless combat aircraft, likely from the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, which first appeared last month, provides a better view of the rear aspect of the jet. This would appear to confirm that the aircraft’s outer wing sections, as we had previously suggested, act as moving control surfaces.

NANTWICH, ENGLAND - MAY 24: The ballistic missile early warning control centre inside the former RAF Hack Green secret nuclear bunker on May 24, 2023 in Nantwich, England. Hack Green played a central role in the defence of Britain for almost sixty years. It was chosen during WW2 to protect the land between Birmingham and Liverpool from hostile attack and as a location for the new RADAR equipment. The bunker went on to be used for shelter and protection during the Cold War. As relations between East and West thawed many of the UK's nuclear bunkers were sold off. The Secret Bunker is now privately owned by the Siebert family and is run as a museum trust. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

A portrait of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is pictured with its frame broken, in a Syrian regime's Political Security Branch facility on the outskirts of the central city of Hama, following the capture of the area by anti-government forces, on December 7, 2024. Syria's embattled government said on December 7 it was setting up a ring of steel around Damascus, state media reported, as rebels on a lightning advance said they were bearing down on the city. The leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Islamist group which has headed the assault, told fighters to prepare to take Damascus, just over a week into a renewed offensive in the long dormant conflict.

ROME, ITALY - APRIL 4: The interiors of the air raid shelter and Mussolini's Bunker at Villa Torlonia set up with blow-ups of daily life under the bombings of Rome, historical videos, artefacts and photos of Benito Mussolini, on April 4, 2024 in Rome, Italy. After a careful restoration and the creation of a new multimedia itinerary, Mussolini's air raid shelter and bunker at Villa Torlonia reopen to the public. Villa Torlonia served as the Roman residence for Benito Mussolini and his family from 1929 to 1943. As Italy entered the war in 1940, in response to the looming threat of aerial bombings, the Duce commissioned the construction of three underground shelters beneath the Casino Nobile for protection.
