Yes, I was speaking of generally.
But now I notice that you posted the initial ones yourself so my comments were really unnecessary altogether.

I found this ?? Looks more like a 6th generation fighter though
Holly molly, one question i have, the guy who did the CGI is he the same who made the very accurate CGI for FC-31 well before it has been publicly unveiled by AVIC? Of course me like everyone else i'm sure, wondering if this is just a nice CGI or... the REAL deal?! I did read some obscure rumours on the subject of a chinese bomber, allegedly this year is a "critical" (or a similar term, can't recall exactly) one for this program. Beginning of prototype construction, or even roll-out?
PS: Oh just read Icloo's reply, so we'll have this supersonic JH-X for PLAN, and the alleged subsonic H-X, a flying wing fairly similar to B-2, for PLAAF?
OK, so this "JH-XX Tactical Bomber" would take the dutties of the Jh-7????
I have a hard time buy this, because it conflicts with the notiion of a improved JH-7B
JH-7B[]
A new and much improved JH-7B is currently under development. It features a whole new avionics system, added stealth features to reduce frontal ; a more powerful A engine and new advance weapon package including the . The new JH-7B also added capabilities which greatly increases its . However new pictures of the JH-7B shows no changes in airframe as opposed to anticipated incorporated stealth features. The development worked on JH-7B variant was mainly on update of avionics and weapon system. It is expected to enter production in 2015.

So what do you think folks??
a) This model JH-XX it real and intended to replace JH-7
b) This model JH-XX aint real, 'cause JH-7B its already in the pipeline
c) This its intended to cover another niche or role in the figther/bomber spectrum
d) none of the above, Alvaritus its crazy
BTW: I loove the looks of this bird, alas F-111 meets YF-23 (aesthetically similar, not functionally)

Frankly, I don't think the JH-7B will be replaced by this supposedly JH-XX tactical bomber system... if it exist. In actual fact both the JH-7B and JH-XX can co-exist together. The JH-7B would be a cheaper fighter bomber whereby the Chinese can field them in large quantity and deploy these birds in low to medium level of conflicts. If the Chinese needed stealth, then, yeah... that is where JH-XX came in. The XX would be much more expensive and so will not be fielded in that large a number.
Something like... although the US have F-22... they still continue to operate the F-15.
Also... frankly... I don't buy into the CGI shown before... why hang missiles on the wings when the whole concept was supposed to be stealthy? If the internal weapon bay is that small that they cannot carry that much munition, then they might as well not have the XX.

I don't understand why we are still discussing this, but the OP of these photos on the Chinese forum explicitly stated that these are fan art.
They are not real, just some fantasy renderings.
There might have been at one time a JH-XX program, but as far as I understand it, it's dead.
They're nice pictures, and the concept and the mysterious black model is fun to speculate about
I'm still nursing a small hope that PLAAF have SAC working on it in secret.
That said, people really need to read back through a thread before asking questions or posting photos that might have already been done -- not to mention use some common sense, in regards to whether a CGI out of all things is real or not.

Come to think of it, believe this latest stealth bomber wave was all started last month when a photo was published showing the commander of PLAAF (Gen. Ma Xiaotian) visiting a retired PLAAF commander (?) on his sick bed. This old commander scribbled the words "must develop a new bomber" on a piece of paper.
The Chinese internet rumor mill took this as a sure sign that a stealth bomber program is underway. I'm not entirely against such speculations, as Huitong has had a writeup on a new stealth bomber for years.
That said, these CGIs are definitely fan art and nothing more, as professed by the OP who made them. Until further credible info surfaces, we should probably be careful with speculations, lest we want David Axe to get all excited again.
I too am nursing a small hope that SAC or some other party is working on a bomber, and let's hope that we shall know soon enough.

Looks like a stealthy JH-7.
It's simply amazing what and even more where You always find such stuff ! Thanks a lot.
