I found this on Quora. This photo is allegedly from a Chinese airbase at night.

I think it is 99% fake but I am still posting it here just in case any of you heard a new rumor. If this is real, the fighter on the right looks like a novel thing too.
why would the bigger plane cast a shadow on the ground at night? why didn't the J10 and J20 cast shadows?

J-10? I‘m quite sure the small, left one should be a J-20, whereas the right, larger one again should be something new and even more that huge one. But why would one expect two new previously unknown types together?

IMO this is clearly a FAKE … albeit a funny one if it would be April 1st.

H-20 won't be able to reach CONUS, not until China has some overseas military bases. That job would fall on SSBN/SSGN/SSN, ICBM or even FOBS.


H-20 can attack US, just modify a H-20 into a stealth tanker and do buddy style bombing. One H-20 carry bombs, the other carry fuel !!

I feel like this is a troll... I dunno, what do you guys think?
I am ever the optimistic.. Probably "just" an overexcited person

@A_Chinese_Man I suggest reading the forum rules, this is a public forum and at the very minimum you should be well behaved on your writings.

Based on the Pentagon report, it seems like H-20 will not have as much range as B-2 or B-21. I don't think that's a problem. For PLAAF's medium term goals, combat radius of 4500 km with fully weapon loads is sufficient to cover Guam (3000 km from Shanghai to there), all of East Asia, India, Southeast Asia and even Northern corner of Australia. Future upgrades of engine and material could allow it to cover even larger area. What they need is something that can fly in undetected against defended military installations without escorts, drop bombs and fly away undetected. That's something they don't have right now with H-6K, which has to rely on LACMs. LACMs are expensive and limited in supply. Large bombs are not. As I described in the Taiwan scenario, having a modern strategic bomber that can take out military bases with large amount of bombs is critical. Maybe it will not be stealthy enough to survive the most heavily defended air space, but should be LO enough to take out other military bases. That's something only US can do right now.

I dont think so.

There is rumors that China has stock piled over 30,000 CJ-10 LACMs just for Taiwan alone !!

The US currently has over 20,000 Tomahawk.

I hope so but there are so many checked boxes that associate with troll accounts from him. I'll let you guys be the judge.

I don't think we have any sort of realistic estimate for how many munitions the PLA has for various types, including LACMs.
unless PLA comes out and make a direct claim, which they never do...so much guessing and speculations around all things PLA, frustrating but fascinating at the same time.
