Everyone is getting a bit too far ahead of themselves.
Let's take it down a few notches and reflect on what can actually be substantiated.
Yankee (if I understand that is indeed him), seems to allude to a project that is stealthy, can fly relatively fast, with a takeoff weight of tens of tons, with a range of over 10,000 Chinese miles (over 5000km), with a large payload bay.
That basically only leaves two proper options, either a 6th gen (or next gen, whatever) fighter platform, or a theater bomber/JH-XX type platform.
I think everyone is assuming that it is referring to a theater bomber/JH-XX platform, but we should keep our mind open that it may not be that, and could very well refer to a 6th gen/next gen fighter platform instead, and at this stage all of the discussion around the "specifications" of a "JH-XX" is only being done because of Horobeyo's own personal speculation that Yankee is referring to a theater bomber.
All of which is to say, I think it is important for all of us to actively register that as of right now, there is actually no solid indication that a "JH-XX" is suggested to be under active development, and thus the discussion being had about its potential "specifications" is for a project which may not even be under development.
