China's New Stealth Bomber: H-X / H-20

[nang2]

It will not be named until the first prototype rolls out ,i guess.

I was mocking that picture.

PLAAF Spoke Person: PLAAF is very close to the entrance gate of strategic air force; also very close to the era of space technologies. PLAAF will accelerate its growth pace.
中国空军新闻发言人申进科大校20日发布这一信息时表示，空军在强军目标引领下砥砺奋进，全面推进转型建设，已经历史性地接近战略空军门槛、历史性地接近空天领域前沿。加快建设世界一流战略空军，需要牢固树立国际视野，加强国际军事交流，学习借鉴外军有益经验，提升部队实战化训练水平，增强空军在更加广阔的空间遂行多样化军事任务能力。

Good! I think he insinuate that H20 bomber is gonna debut?

I think so too.

His words regarding "strategic air force" implies that we may see H20 prototype soon; "era of space technologies" implies that PLAAF may deploy hypersonic space vehicles soon. I used to think such space stuff would be operated by Second Artillery/Rocket Force, but it seems I was wrong.

Interesting! I wonder where is the line that separates these three forces:

• PLAAF, them going strategic is a must, aka possessing capabilities in strategic airlift, strategic strike, but not so sure what their space capabilities ("历史性地接近空天领域前沿") mean.
  
• PLARF (PLA Rocket Force), perhaps they are the one who will operate nuke-armed DF-ZF?
  
• PLASSF (PLS Strategic Support Force). Sources said other than three info & cyberwarfare corps, they also have seven space warfare corps (军事航天部队), wonder what kind of offensive weaponry will they operate?

It looks like a prepared maiden flight for this fall.

UAV, not a bomber.

At best a sub-scale RCS-testmodel.

Compared with the facility house, it is not a small one.

Indeed. Regrettable that "thing" is not visible at GE and my TerraServer-access is limited. Anyway by comparing with that taxiway and even if both images are not to the same size it has about 18m span.
