Interesting that multiple J-31 stealth fighter jets were featured so prominently at the beginning of this rather official video directly from our air force media department. Not saying this would represent anything concrete of course, but it just might be a hint they are indeed supporting the development of this project.

@cirr : is that H-20 prototype, cirr? or H-6 variant?

Like I just posted: First image of the alleged H-6N - or H-6KH - which made its maiden flight at the end of last year appeared. This development of the H-6K is said to be an IFR-probe equipped version, allegedly planned as an AShBM carrier with the size of a DF-21D.
