The last 6 pages of back forth exchanges between Blitzo and latenlazy
are flying way beyond my brain ... ...

I have a question maybe someone can enlighten me ... ...

If China can produce Hypersonic UAV / that can deliver adequate payload,
why do they need to build JH--XX bomber / striker ??

Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong ... ...

However, what I was originally saying is that if two aircraft (one stealthy, one non-stealthy) were to make egress under the same starting conditions (same distance from adversaries, same egress distance overall), the stealthy aircraft could afford to have lower kinematic capability to successfully conduct egress compared to the non-stealthy aircraft which would need greater kinematic capability, as its stealth would make it more difficult to pursue to a degree, which the non-stealthy aircraft doesn't have the benefit of.

TBH, I never had problems with that bit. The reason I brought up a point about needing greater kinematics was because we were comparing T:W ratios of other supersonic bombers. This goes back to my general feeling that using WS-10s as interims would be insufficient (I'm essentially saying that a JH-XX should probably have better T:W at loaded weight than the Tu-22M to perform the mission you're describing).

The need for multiple platforms to fall back on. Using tried and tested technology results in earlier deployment.

I believe Bai Wai has read some of the debate between Deino and Latenlazy. Is that why he posted some more pics?:p;)

Well, assuming that the JH-XX uses a WS-15 derivative, it could probably get an IOC of 2022-2025 (assuming that it doesn't get a NK-25 or NK-32 from Russia).

Now, a Sino SR-72 won't fly until 2030, and to get a full scale strike aircraft, you'll probably have to wait until 2035-2040, assuming Sino-American combined cycle scramjet/turbofan parity.

But if those reports of the combined cycle turbo-ramjet drone are true, China might have just stolen a march on the US (the SR-72's engine tech demonstrator is planned to begin construction in 2018, with a first flight in 2023).
