Meh, seems like a nothing article with just some rando anonymous source. If this anonymous source actually provided very specific and detailed information to back-up their claims, maybe it would be worthwhile. As is, just doesn't seem worth discussing.
Agreed ... on Twitter I posted this:
"Well, similar to the H-20 report yesterday, my gut feeling tells me that there are currently too many people in certain circles and here especially in the USA - even in academic circles - with wild fantasies and a certain need to "spread" or at least discuss such stories.
A PLAN carrier battle group in the Indian Ocean or Atlantic is just to ring the alarm bells, but far from reality & chances that they have secret data on the H-20 program & can even judge its stealth capabilities and shortcomings, I also similar highly unlikely.
To put it carefully; similar to India - from where we are reading a lot of funny reports recently too - there's currently an election campaign in the USA and as the apt quote says (unfortunately author unknown): "The election campaign is the Time of focused unintelligence!""
