USAF Confirms: The Chinese J-20 Spotted In Georgia Is a Mock-Up Used For Training by the U.S. Marine Corps

美国空军证实:佐治亚发现的中国歼-20战机是美国海军陆战队训练用模型

The Mystery Chinese Stealth Jet Seen at U.S. Base Is For Marine OPFOR Training.

在美国基地看到的神秘中国隐形战机是用于海军假想敌训练的模型。

The U.S. Air Force has officially confirmed to TheAviationist.com that the Chengdu J-20 Mighty Dragon photographed at a military facility inside Savannah-Hilton Head Airport, Georgia, US, on Wednesday, Dec. 5, is a training mock-up for use by the United States Marine Corps.

美国空军已经正式向《飞行家网站》证实，12月5日(星期三)在美国佐治亚州萨凡纳-希尔顿黑德国际机场拍摄的成飞歼二十威龙战机是美国海军陆战队的训练模型。

“It is a full scale replica and remained at the Air Dominance Center for a short period during the week of 4-6 Dec. The USMC is funding and directing the training objectives of this device […] Col. Emmanuel Haldopoulos, Commander of the Savannah Air Dominance Center, wrote us.

“这是一件全尺寸复制品，12月4日至6日，在空中优势中心停留了一小段时间，美国海军陆战队资助并指导该设备的训练[…]，萨凡纳空中优势中心指挥官伊曼纽尔告诉我们。

The specific role of the realistic, full scale mock-up has not yet been clarified by official U. S. Marine Corps sources.

美国海军陆战队的官方消息人士对这个实在的、全尺寸模型的具体作用还没有明确。

The photo caused worldwide speculation when we broke the story on Thursday, the day after the aircraft was sighted at Savannah-Hilton Head Airport. It was provided to us by a reliable spotter who asked to remain anonymous and shot the photo from public property. A number of theories about the plane’s authenticity and origin, including bizarre ideas about a Viktor Belenko style defection, however unlikely, swirled around social media. The Russian media outlet Sputnik ran a feature on the photograph and our story.

飞机在萨凡纳-希尔顿海德机场被发现的第二天，也就是周四，我们进行了报道，照片立刻引起了全世界范围的大猜测。这张照片是由一位可靠的拍摄者提供，这位提供者仍然要求匿名，并告诉我们照片是在公共场所拍摄的。关于这架飞机的真实性和来源，众说纷纭，甚至有维克托•别连科式叛变的奇怪想法(尽管可能性不大)，社交媒体是各种消息满天飞。俄罗斯卫星网甚至针对这张照片和我们的文章做了专题报道。

Internet and social media pundits around the world have viewed the photo millions of times and offered wide-ranging theories on what the aircraft was doing in the U.S. Others incorrectly questioned if the photo was authentic. In the internet frenzy that followed publication of the photo, some observers, including Russian sources, suggested the photo may have been altered or created using digital resources such as Photoshop.

这张照片被全世界网络和社交媒体专家浏览了数百万次，并对这架飞机为什么出现在美国做众说纷纭。还有人错误地质疑这张照片的真实性。这张照片发布后掀起了网络狂潮，包括俄罗斯消息人士在内的一些观察人士暗示，这张照片可能是用Photoshop等修改或创建的。

One observer provided a radar track of an unidentified aircraft that was alleged to have flown from Alaska to Savannah-Hilton Head Airport just prior to the sighting. As is usually the case the conspiracy theories of secret defections and fake Photoshop images proved incorrect.

一名观察者提供了一架不明飞机的雷达跟踪，据称这架飞机在我们发现之前从阿拉斯加飞往萨凡纳-希尔顿海德机场的。通常情况下，关于秘密叛逃的阴谋论和用PS伪造的判断被证实是错误的。

We have been confirmed via email by the Commander of the U.S. Air Force Air Dominance Center that the J-20 is a full-scale replica parked there Dec. 4-6. This finally proves your forensics analysis was wrong.

美国空军空中优势中心的指挥官通过电子邮件确认，12月4日至6日停在那里的歼-20战机只是一件全尺寸复制品。这最终证明你们的分析是错误的。
——《飞行家网站》2018年12月9日

Late last week, Chinese Defense subject matter expert Andreas Rupprecht, noted author of several authoritative reference books on the Chinese air forces, was the first to observe that the aircraft’s control surfaces had not moved while parked in a static position. He also noted that the exhaust nozzles looked inaccurate and the landing gear was different from a real Chengdu J-20 Mighty Dragon. These observations confirmed the aircraft was a full-scale mock-up and not a real Chengdu J-20.

上周晚些时候，中国国防问题专家，曾经着有几本关于中国空军权威参考书的安德雷斯•拉普雷切特第一个观察到飞机的操纵面在静止状态下没有移动。他还指出，排气喷嘴看起来不准确，起落架与真正的成飞歼-20威龙也不一样。通过这些观察，他认定飞机是全尺寸模型，而不是真正的成飞歼-20战机。

Before the USAF confirmed the role of the J-20 mock-up as a Marine Corps training tool to TheAviationist.com, there had also been some suggestion that the aircraft was a prop for use in the ongoing production of the Hollywood movie, “Top Gun: Maverick”.

美国空军向《飞行家网站》证实歼-20模型是海军陆战队训练道具前，也有一些说法认为，这架飞机是正在拍摄的好莱坞电影《壮志凌云:特立独行》的道具。

Now that the authenticity of photo and the purpose for the Chengdu J-20 Mighty Dragon have been officially confirmed by the U.S. Air Force the more interesting story becomes how the U.S. Marine Corps will integrate the aircraft into its training operations.

现在，成飞歼-20威龙照片的真实性和用途已经得到美国空军的正式确认，更有趣的是美国海军陆战队将如何将把这架飞机整合到训练中去。

The appearance of the USMC-owned J-20 mock-up suggests that the U.S. is taking the emergence of this and other Chinese weapons systems seriously. With a significant increase in both indigenous and export weapons programs coming from China the U.S. focus on emerging Chinese defense technology is well justified.

美国国防部拥有的歼-20模型的出现表明，美国正在认真对待这款战机以及其他中国武器系统。随着中国本土和出口武器项目的显着增加，美国对中国新兴国防技术的关注是合情合理的。

We will keep you updated as more details emerge.

如果有更多细节的披露，我们将及时更新。

"Others incorrectly questioned if the photo was authentic."
It is not possible to incorrectly question anything (whether or not it is advisable to question something is another matter altogether). It IS possible to state that the photo was not authentic, however, even if that statement turns out to have been incorrect.

“其他人错误地质疑这张照片是不是真的。”
不可能错误地质疑任何事情(质疑某件事情是否可取完全是另一回事)。可能说照片不是真的，即使这一说法被证明是错误的。

Well, there goes my best guess of "it's a prop for the new Top Gun film".

好吧，“这是《壮志雄心》新电影的道具”的最佳猜测。

Warren Trout
So much for the "experts" lol!. Once again, totally wrong

这么多所谓的“专家”，哈哈！又一次全军覆没。

rychastings
the chinese must be flattered

中国人一定是受宠若惊。

They literally built a mockup of an aircraft carrier to study its design after buying an old one from Russia. They Chinese copy everything.

中国在从俄罗斯买了一艘旧航母后，确实建造了一艘航空母舰的模型来研究。中国人什么都抄。

sammm
still better mock up than F-313

还是比仿制F-313模型好。

Makes me wonder what kind of operations the Marine Corps is planning where they need to identify J-20s on the ground. Possible SCS island operations?

我很好奇海军陆战队正在策划什么行动，需要战斗中识别歼-20战机。可能是南海行动？

The Aviationist
Dunno, but it's the main question here.

不知道，不过这是最大的疑问。

Hush Kit
Interesting. What is the point?

有意思，重点是什么？

Bryan William Jones
Not surprised here. Mockups have been used by the U.S. for many years.

没什么大惊小怪的。美国已经使用模型很多年了。

Komyeta
I thought it will used for Top Gun shooting

我还以为是拍摄《壮志凌云》的道具呢。

Important tip: If you are going to use the thought-controlled weapons, you must think in MANDARIN.

重要提示:如果想使用思想控制武器，必须用汉语思维思考。

Can it fly tho?

能飞吗？

Ace Combat Fan
No way, no point in spending so much money into remaking a plane flyable if you don't plan on using it

绝对不可能，如果不打算使用，花那么多钱重造一架可以飞的飞机没有意义。

Dak2Amari
Planning to steal one.

打算偷一架。

Dave the Wave
We can probably make a very good clone, since it's all our technology anyway

也许我们能复制一个好的，因为这款战机用得都是我们的技术。
