H-18

H-18
A medium-range/medium-sized stealth bomber is believed to have been under development at 601/SAC since late 2000s as H-18 (?). According to a highly pixelated photo leaked to the internet in November 2013, H-18 appears to have a long and sleek fuselage, suggesting it could fly at supersonic speed. Its engine intakes are located on the upper sides of the fuselage and are partially shielded by the wings. Two slanted tailfins are thought to extend outwards which also shield the engine nozzles. The aircraft is likely to be powered by two large thrust turbofan engines but exact type is still unknown. One prototype was built by mid-2013. H-18 is expected to replace the vintage H-6 medium bomber once it enters the service with PLAAF and PLAN.

Dude India is right next door why would the Pakistanis want a Bomber to Bomb us

Although PAF is in no position to afford a Strategic Bomber, but in future PAF will be in need of a stealth plane at least same size of Su-34, so it can hit enemy hard and deep, it will be very good to conduct SEAD and wild weasel missions.
