Satellite imagery shows mock-ups of American jets and planes in a Chinese desert for military target practice.
China appears to be using replicas of U.S. warplanes as target practice in a remote desert area in northwest China.
Scorch marks and craters are also visible around the site. Some of the model warplanes have been destroyed, presumably from direct hits.However, most of the models show partial damage. Interestingly an earlier image from June 28, 2021, shows the same site but with only seven aircraft and an unscathed runway area.
On that occasion, satellite imagery appeared to show a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and destroyer escort. Those images, captured near a railway track in the desert, suggest that the mock-ups can be transported.However, given the resolution of the satellite images, the level of detail on the mock-ups is unclear.
