We are talking about your detailed extrapolation about the design and configuration and dimensions of H-20 based on unofficial magazine art, which is not reasonable to do.

I don't know how much speculation is being made about B-21, but if there was similar detailed extents of speculation about B-21 based on unofficial art or unofficial statements then I would also view those in a poor light.

We've done this off the AVIC leak; i.e, we know it's likely to be some kind of cranked arrow flying wing.

For the B-21, similar guesswork has been made since new 'artist's renderings' show a new window arrangement, with Western media arguing for increased stealth.

A cruise missile bomber akin to a stealthy Tu-22M would be a game changer in WestPac. It would be able to provide yet another way of putting hostile naval groups at risk, serving as a recon platform, and gaining technical experience in improving the performance of large planes.

So the JH-XX becomes JH-21. If there is one flying machine more mysterious than H-20, it's this.

However, what is intriguing is the mention of twin engines. What engines does China have in the works that could power this? A supersonic stealth bomber requires some potent low bypass thrust.

Definitely not two WS-15 or is it?

Been sayin’ this!!!
Internal rotary bay with 4 x 450 km ranged super-sonic AShMs would do it!

looks like it has some su34 in it. a stealth version of su34 would be a good aircraft for targets along the first island chain and beyond but short of guam.
