H-20 bomber (with H-X, JH-XX)
- Thread starter Deino
- Start date
Honestly, IMO nothing will happen on 1. October in regard to the H-20 ... at least IMO all these high hopes and reports by strange sites assuming a public unveiling are so much over-hyped. They will surely show us some gems on the pare we did not expected to see, but I'm sure it won't be the H-20.

Because of the nature of the project it highly doubtful that they will suddenly have a H20 flying over Beijing.
This is one of the PRC’s “Super power” Projects. It’s meant to show they have caught up to the US and beat the Russians to a VLO Bomber.
As such they want it to be shown to the public when it rolls out. They can’t do that in the streets of Beijing.

LMFAO.
I like the wording, and like the style more, but the most I like is the hidden message: the so-called Chinese Threat is the biggest fake news of the century.
A country that keeps manufacturing malfunctioned jet engines can't be a threat to anyone, understand you?
Case closed. Anyone who says anything otherwise must face the consequences," with predictably troubled results."
The engines are so troubled the planes started doing post stall maneuvers by themselves
The engines are troubled and the post-stall manoeuvres are a cry for help.
Yeah...So...
Nobody saw a VLO Bomber or a Supersonic LRB at the October Parade. I saw the military parade to the fullest ( I hope many of others did too). It was very neat to see many strategic deterrence tools. I was let down a bit for no show of the SB or LRB. The reasons are more likely to be that the product has not escaped the prototyping stage and or has been deemed too secretive and sensitive for such an occasion. Certainly, It is best shown flying over enemy territory rather than over Beijing.
That being said - Why is the thread titled " JH-xx / H-x bomber project "? Wasn't the H-x presumed to have been selected over the jh-xx ? Wasn't it deemed to cost prohibitive to manage two high value Bomber project? Wasn't the jh-xx dropped?

It was incredibly doubtful that they would have rolled out a new bomber at the parade.
first problem are they really going to try and roll that mother down a street? If we use the B2 as a base for size. That’s a bomber roughly 52 meters wide. That’s a big bird to roll down the street.
Second you can’t just fly it. If the aircraft hasn’t made its maiden flight and started testing flying it over a major city would
Be an act of idiocy. If something went wrong and it fell from the sky could you imagine the horror. Not humiliation but horror. Beijing is not the place for a Plane crash.
As such you only want to fly something pretty well into at least flight tests. Towing demonstration pieces even mock ups is fine but as we saw at the Russian Victory day parade when a crewman stalled a T15 Armata. You don’t want to rush things. It’s fine to have troops holding new rifles as long as they don’t shoot them. It’s fine to roll around new missile housings, drone Mockups and demonstrators but you don’t fly them if they aren’t ready for prime time.
so the. How do you do it? You can’t fly it it’s two big to tow though a major city what then?
“We break from the parade to the factory where despite having not a single VIP on hand they are going to roll out the new Bombers...”
Not happening. No way this is a major prestige program. They want the VIPs from the party and PLAAF on hand. They want Red carpet and gift bags. Smoke machines laser lights and dancing girls. Photo ops of Xi in the cockpit smiling and waving. Heck even better if a major American official is in country.

Because occasionally we still get news and rumours that seem to relate to the so-called JH-XX, so until the H-20 emerges we will keep this thread to have both H-20/H-X and JH-XX related discussion in one place.
