So, it's not the Sputnik Crisis x2. It's cubed.

I think that's when they start being trolling... But who knows

Xi'an is the bomber manufacturer, so, H2O?

Based on the images and comparing its size with the J20S chase plane. Is there a likelihood that it can fit a PL-17 inside its weapon bay or is it just deeper, so more PL-15s? If it's the former, that would be quite a game changer.

Overall, loved the massive development going on. I can feel the excitement and enthusiasm from reading all the posts! A bit disappointed though that CAC's demo aircraft isn't as pretty nor sexy (side view anyway) as the J20 or J35. It looks like the future really is/are flying doritos. Hehe

One more photo of the alleged J-XD2 from Shenyang AC. The watermark doesn't seem fake to me.

Here's another with a J-11(BS?) seemingly pulling away(?):

The SAC design looks almost exactly like this diagram, with foldable tails.
高隐身状态 High stealth mode
高机动状态 High maneuverability mode

interesting and not surprising that the same "fighter bomber" cope from J-20 days are coming out again.

Apparently the guy that shot this was arrested.

They are trying to promote domestic phones for pictures not this foreign japanese camera nonsense.

Waiting for this to be confirmed 100%, but looks quite likely. It just made no sense to me they would try flying on the same day. It makes more sense that they release the photos on the same day.

2-engine SAC and 3-engine CAC always seemed more logical.

And then there is the 4-engine XAC H-20. It was quite obvious to me a couple of weeks ago that this is going to be the case.

What if the H-20 is just the JH-XX and the PLA is now going with an Apple style product lineup for 6th gen planes.
