At least you got inside! When she visited us circa 30 years ago, nobody was allowed in, and the CONFEDERATE Air Force crew wouldn't even let us approach closely on the ground here, deep in Yankee-land.
DOESNT MATTER! Parts Dept says last CDC (Cloaking Device Controller) in the inventory was installed on the airframe in question last week. This item is no longer in production, the vendor who manufactured it is no longer in business, bought out by a Chinese concern, and all manufacturing jigs, production documentation, and component inventory destroyed for security reasons. Consider this airframe a write-off.
I remember seeing one of those at the Abbotsford air show and I remember thinking how small it was.B-1s in India.

Perhaps a reminder to Putin, from India, that they're not big fans of his invading a sovereign country? Also, if memory serves, India and PRC have had "issues," and reminding China that a) Ukraine isn't that distracting for the US and b) the US does have people who have read some history.B-1s in India.

India and China have strained relations at best, just 2 years ago they had a series of borders skirmishes along India's north-east border that resulted in India booting quite a few Chinese companies and blocking several online marketplace merchants like Alibaba.

Numerically, if China and India become allies, they can conquer the entirety of old world, by just walking through!

This may be only slightly more likely than an China-US alliance.

Something I find interesting, is that India's military power is often overlooked.
To add to that, India just increased it's military budget by a considerable amount, putting them now in third place, right behind the U.S. and China.
India already has the world's third largest military and thanks to China's provocations, is starting to ramp up it's strength.
China may be biting off more than it can chew - the U.S. really doesn't have an advantage over China in regards to a potential brawl iver open water, but India sure as hell does, both in manpower/hardware as well as it's physical location.
And if push comes to shove, my money is on the descendants of the Mughal Empire for the win.

I wonder is there anything that Japanese haven't made anime of / about it?
In a good sense, anime is not the first case of such an "invasion" in China.
Roughly 70% of modern Chinese words are said to have been imported from Japan by Chinese students to understand the western culture quickly and easily a century ago.
Good shots!
