author:Aspen Observation Room

The Indian media "EurAsia Times" published an article saying that China is actively seeking its transcontinental strike capability, from the recent movements of China can be a little known, China is developing a series of stealth bombers and transcontinental large drones, these advanced equipment can now allow China to launch a collective strategic offensive to prevent the United States and its allies from entering and provoking.

According to the Indian media, China has developed a series of long-range bombers in line with China's "active defense" theory, which will "maintain offensive operations at the operational and tactical levels while maintaining a defensive posture at the strategic level" (tactical offensive and strategically defensive).

After the H-20 stealth bomber enters service, the PLA can also strike Australia's Tyndall Air Force Base, which is a new stronghold of the U.S. Strategic Bomber Force and will deploy B52 bombers.

And in addition to the well-known stealth bomber project of the H-20, the PLA also has a second stealth bomber, called the J-H-20 (J-H XX), which has combat and air combat capabilities, and the Indian media said that the simulation CG diagram of the J-H-20 project has been exposed on the Internet before, but it has not been confirmed by the official media.

The exposed J-H-20 scale-up model, as well as the design of the angled tail and twin-engine engines and built-in large magazines, the US Defense Intelligence Agency clearly confirmed the existence of the J-H-20 in an official report in 2019. Therefore, there are comments that the US official will not confirm the J-H-20 project before confirming the source, which shows that the United States seems to have confirmed the existence of the J-H-20 through some channel.

However, Ruprecht, a well-known German military expert who has always studied the Chinese Air Force, was noncommittal, saying in a social media post that he did not know whether the PLA really had the J-H-20 project, a mysterious "military legend" that is more mysterious than the snowman or even the Loch Ness monster.

Ruprecht is an expert on the Chinese Air Force, and in recent years he has published a number of books in English on the development of the Chinese Air Force, which shows that his understanding and views on the Chinese Air Force are relatively objective. Unlike other Western "experts" who look at the development of the Chinese military through tinted glasses, his research on the Chinese Air Force is undoubtedly quite thorough, and his analytical views are often quoted or interviewed by foreign military media.

However, the concept map of the suspected J-H-20 in China is also used as a cover in the well-known "Aviation Knowledge" magazine, which is also an important information that the J-H-20 is considered to be real. In the details of the US Defense Intelligence Agency's report on the J-H-20, there is no picture of the J-H-20, but the Intelligence Agency believes that this supersonic bomber with stealth capabilities can carry large active phased array radars and carry ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles for over-the-horizon air combat, and then the invisible magazine in its belly can carry various types of precision-guided munitions, with a combat radius of 1600-3200 kilometers.

The US military analysis believes that the J-H-20 should have 2 or 3 built-in bomb bays, of which the large bomb bay in the middle of the belly is responsible for carrying precision-guided munitions, and the relatively small bomb bays on both sides of the belly are responsible for loading air-to-air missiles. The U.S. military analysis report believes that the aircraft will enable the PLA Air Force to conduct offensive and defensive air operations farther from the Chinese border, enhance A2/AD (anti-access/area denial) capabilities, and operate beyond the first island chain from the Kuril Islands south to Japan and the Philippines.

The aircraft could attack strategic targets in Japan, and possibly even U.S. bases in Guam, as well as military targets in India and the South China Sea.

The US media "1945" believes that the existence of the J-H-20 solves the problem of the small carrying capacity of stealth fighters and the inability of conventional fighter-bombers with strong strike capabilities. The advent of the J-H-20 will make up for the PLA's lack of ground-to-sea strike capability of stealth fighters to a certain extent.

Of course, don't look at what the foreign media said, whether there is a J-H-20, we don't know, and we can't be sure. However, there is still a lack of direct evidence to prove the existence of the J-H-20, and the picture of the J-H-20 quoted by the Indian media is a simulated CG diagram made by netizens on the Internet before, not the real J-H-20.

And the appearance of the concept map of the so-called J-H-20 in the Chinese magazine "Aviation Knowledge" highlighted by the Indian media actually does not explain anything, it can only be said to reflect the wishes of the author, and does not explain the real existence of the J-H-20 project. For example, regarding the H-20 strategic bomber, the official has publicly confirmed the existence of the H-20 project a long time ago, and has continuously released promotional videos, Easter eggs, and various related reports about the H-20 project in the following time.

But this is not the case at all for the J-H-20, so far, the official has not confirmed the existence of the J-H-20 project, whether it is TV reports or media disclosures, on the contrary, foreign media take the J-H-20 hype. Therefore, it is very reasonable to believe that the J-H-20 has always been the product of foreign media fabrication, and the unmoving boasting of the J-H-20 is to exaggerate the theory of China's military threat, so that the national military can get more defense budget, after all, this trick is bad at both the United States and India.
