In 2010 Military analyst Allison Puccioni was going through Reconnaissance Images of China. In the industrial city of Luoyang, she notices something strange.
She spotted an abject looking like an American F-117 Nighthawk in an industrial complex in China
Intelligence revealed that the object in Luoyang is housed in a facility that develops military targeting systems
Now, what would an F-117A Stealth Fighter be doing in China?
The F-117A mockup is sitting at the Electro-Optical Technology Development Center in Luoyang, China. The center does R&D for Chinese air-to-air missiles.
The image above, captured in March of 2010, depicts an F-117A mockup. The mockup appears to be partially completed, apparently missing the forward fuselage. The picture above is from Google Earth.
The question is, is the plane real or just a model?
