H-20 bomber (with H-X, JH-XX)

At least it can tease some H-20 rumors out.


"Also look forward to the H-20 coming out as soon as possible, but some (sources told me) that it will be very different from the B-21 in the way it is used, and that will likely lead to something that is still quite different in the end although it also values stealth."

The B-21 has finally been unveiled, and it does feel like a small B-2, with little aerodynamic change, mainly abandoning the optimization of low-altitude surprise defence-penetration capabiility to enhance stealth. Sensors, information technology and functional richness will be much better than the B-2, and it is said that the B-21 may be equipped with aerial self-defense capabilities. In short, do not look like the B-2, but since the United States is now publicly referred to as the first 6-generation aircraft, in fact, the inherent progress is great.

It's been a long time since we've had a major model this exciting, so let's take a good look at the main targets and sources of air defense pressure we'll be facing in the coming decades. The B-21 will be our number one enemy for quite some time, and countermeasures to counter it will be on the main agenda, as will the lessons learned from past studies on how to counter the B-2.

Since this thing is scheduled to be procured in very large numbers, it marks the point where the U.S. military is finally somewhat ready to fight a big war with its peer opponents. This will make the future Western Pacific airspace more lively than ever, and our anti-stealth needs will be much greater than they were back in the days when the B-2 was the only one, so we will have to invest more. Also looking forward to the H-20 coming out soon, but some people told me in my dream that it will be very different from the B-21 in the way it is used, and that will likely lead to something that is still quite different in the end although it also values stealth.

PS: I am most surprised is actually, Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force early release of propaganda diagrams seems to not to do much to fool the hidden elements, the basic shape is that, and even before the release, the ugliest CGI picture in the details is the one which most closely match the actual design.

If you would like to do a direct translation, it would be "Also looking forward to the H-20 coming out soon, but some people told me in my dream that it will be very different from the B-21 in the way it is used, and that will likely lead to something that is still quite different in the end although it also values stealth."

Basically a roundabout way to mean "source tells me."

B-21 as a hybrid stratgic-tactical bomber and H-20 being a pure strategic bomber?
