H-20 bomber (with H-X, JH-XX)
- Thread starter Deino
- Start date
The United States and Russia could gather a lot of information if the H-20 appeared in Zhuhai. It's not good for China's national security. It could have been better if the H-20 has successfully developed, but never appears to the public. It is the trump card for the final battle.
In Germany we have a saying: thus is a useless discussion in the question "what to cool with der unlaid eggs?"
Imo the H-20 don't ready yet ans i don't expect it to fly within the next two years. Aß such there is nothing to show this year and most likely still nothing in 2022.
There is no Zhuhai this year.
If the H-20 is successfully developed, like J-20, J-31 and DF-17, China will let everyone see it. China does not hide the latest technologies and does not worry if its enemies know a lot about themselves.
Agreed especially even more since you cannot hide a huge bomber built at XAC in Xi'an, but I'm convinced, it is not ready yet ...
With US showering Taiwan with more weapons, I think a not so public reveal of H-20 is certain. ( 2021)
Expect pictures similar to that of 2011 J-20 prototypes or just even smartphone captured " UFO " like pics.
They'll show it exists but they won't show much of it to ascertain details of value.
The H-20 is supposed to be barely into prototyping isn't it? Showing it for this purpose would only spur Taiwan and US into escalating the arms race wouldn't it?
