non-afterburning variant of NK-32

Really? I know this engine is aimed for the PAK-DA but I don't think Russia will sell China it for the H-20?

I can't find the original source in cjdby. There is one guy his name is 空军厂 on cjdby. He is PLA air force, especially Radar expert. Real expert, very knowledgeable. He has access to very sensitive PLA materials.

Nk-32 is what I remembered 2 years ago.

China already finished H-20 design, first flight is done, or maybe later this year which I am not sure. Nobody want to leak the info, it's way too confidential.

H-20 is bigger than B-2, which is for sure.

I don't think Russia want to sell it neither. But there is possibility China can use something else which Russia need badly to exchange. Unlike India, China has some cutting edge technology which Russia can't easily buy from western countries. and China won't need a lot of Nk-32, it will be replaced by domestic made engine anyway.

Off topic a little bit. 空军厂 also predict that China will use J-31 for aircraft carrier 2-3 years ago. He knew how to organize aircraft carrier air defense a lot, he is expert. In stealth and hyper-sonic era, aircraft carrier is in great danger, nothing is reliable. The only way for air defense is using stealthy fighter jet air patrolling all the time. Basically it will need at least double/triple jets in the air for patrolling only. It means big jet won't fit.
