At the absolute minimum imo the H-20 should at least match B-21 numbers (at least 145 planned so far?) and then at least a bit over, so probably lower hundreds for H-20 alongside mid-hundreds for GJ-X, plus probably high-tens or even low hundreds for WZ-X. Since such a program will likely be spread over a decade/decades, this is quite conservative.

Actually the idea of GJ-X as a flexible tanker for H-20 makes a lot of sense, as well as GJ-X being a bomber in its own right. Potentially this would enable H-20 to reach CONTUS with 1 refueling, meaning H-20 could be a bit smaller (=cheaper) than some of the projections made on this and other fora.

Edit: or maybe 2 refuelings, 1 from YY20 in friendly airspace, another from GJ-X further out in the Pacific.

Anyone has any articles that point to what kind of line-of-sight communication technologies used in these kinds of drones?
