According to Henri K.'s Twitter, there is a rumor that the JH-XX bomber might've made its maiden flight on June 10, 2019.

Any idea where he might've gotten the rumors from? Nothing from CJDBY or Weibo so far.

Another knowledgeable person also mentioned it yesterday. At least two threads about it have been deleted from cjdby.

A supposed eyewitness posted to CJDBY on June 10 (North America time) that they saw an upgraded "J-15 version" make a test flight. However, their illustration makes me wonder...

Anyways, the associated CJDBY post:

Is it common for CJDBY to delete threads that have high sensitivity? Also, is the poster a credible one?

June 10 date lines up with the supposed rumour of JH-xx test flight being witnessed and leaked. Is the JH-xx based off a flanker design? Why call it an upgraded J-15 when the frame looks far from resembling a conventional fourth gen fighter frame. Doubtful that the leakers are randoms allowed to post these rumours up online. Must be all intentional. Therefore removes the possibility of them screwing up the J-15 connection. Could it be a hint at a naval or carrier connection?

Perhaps they're calling it a J-15 - the original wording was an "upgraded Flying Shark" - to avoid censorship.

Looks like this illustration from a military magazine.

I’m not sure how credible that post is. China puts a lot of effort in not just better equipment but also equipment with no direct counters, so developing something like a 6th gen early is not fully out of the question, but I don’t think China is advanced enough to get it into the air so quickly, while US is still getting F-35 in order and Russia is struggling with getting any 5th gens up at all. According to everything I’ve seen before, it’s still a stiff neck to neck competition.

People are talking about a 601 design that showed up around 2013. It has been posted in this forum in JH-7 thread https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/jh-7-jh-7a-jh-7b-thread.t912/page-110#post-236021

Anyone know what this is? Looks like the Sharp Sword model behind it.
