Wat we eerst wisten
- The South China Morning Post relays Xinhua’s claim of successful GJ-21 takeoff and landing operations during October.
Toen nog open
- The precise operation date, location, launch and recovery methods, flight count and operating conditions remain undisclosed in that account.
Waar we op zouden letten
- Look for independently checkable evidence of the reported operations, followed by evidence that the ship and aircraft can repeat them as an accepted operational system.
