Hello, it's my first post.

I hope people won't mind if I open my first post with conjectured airplane. I know very little of armies, navies airforces, other than a few pages that I've read here and on other forums so far. I'm just a fanboy of seeing "a clash of powers that be" and see that China is finally rising, but has no weapons so far that poses a challenge to the U.S..
Except this one.. if it's real.

I was hoping someone could tell me whether China is even capable of mass-producing a stealth bomber by 2010 and how fake the following pictures are of the supposed H-8 stealth bomber (I plucked them from youtube).





So what is your opinion on how capable china is to build a stealth bomber?
So how fake is this?
Which plane is this a copy of? (from the amount of lurking on defence forums, I keep seeing "china copies this or that" or "that is just fanboy photoshopping of an f-22 or b-2a")
Can that thing even fly?
Where is it keeping it's bombs?

Looks like the typical fan boy PS to me. If it is real let's have some real proof.

"I am what I am.... 'Dat's all what I am"

cloyce

This design is horrible.

The location of the weaapon bay is totaly wrong.

Once the bomber had dropped its weapons, it will be very unbalanced.

bd popeye

That aircraft looks like a commuter jet someone did a little MS paint job on. Totally PS...

magic eight ball say: out look not so good.

Although Possible I question the Time of 2010 More likely Some time after 2015 and with a more Conventional Configuration this looks more like a Poorman's have blue or a PS based on a Lear jet or gulf stream

bd popeye

Now that is funny!

Actually, that was already posted over a week ago in this thread, post # 12. Apperently not much to it at all.

challenge

no way,China air frames design still very weak,.samll two engine strike aircraft,yes,but a 4 engine? no.

bd popeye

sluimers, as a friendly note, next time you want to host a photo use a more reputable site such as imageshack or tinypic. That site you used to host your pics has disappeared.

Lol let's not get into a debate about how good China can make it's planes =P

If China does have a stealth bomber, it'll be pretty certain to feature in this years parade in October. The only thing is that we haven't seen any real photos of a stealth bomber "leaked" which destroys any credibility of an H-8 or whatever.

challenge

stealth bomber like B-2 use complex technology to design and built,so advance ,according to USAF,even the european aerospace with her high tech industrial base unable to duplicate.

Bltizo

Hmm I am getting a bit out of my depth here, but one thing I will say is that the American military do tend to exaggerate sometimes. (But I am not saying any random country can build a B-2 class plane)

I was just disputing the "China air frames design still very weak" comment.

the chances of China having a stealth bomber by 2010... is very low.

Sczepan

agree, there is a lot of bs in www
also this looks like fan art

better yet pop's I actually used a magic 8 ball!

PSed Photo's are so rampant and ever improving in quality these days.
And the more and more outlandish Claims are just as prevalent Early on it was repainting Chinese markings on F22's and Eurofighters, Yf23's and the like. now they really put some work in them. To be honest I find the PSed bomber rather original and fun but of Questionable stealth.

I personally would think that PLA would encourage and even participate in the production of PSed photos as a form of strategic deception.
