H-20 bomber (with H-X, JH-XX)

I think it's just a tease with Xin Jia Huo representing all the new platforms we're witnessing and will become available to the PLA. It's symbolic of PLA's rapid leapfrogging and iteration. New aircraft are already becoming like new Chinese cars, iterating fast, new tech every few years.

The shadow and aircraft he's looking at could simply be a gesture to all the aircraft we've seen introduced into service in the last couple of years; WZ-8, J-35, J-20S, J-20A, GJ-11/21, UADFs, CCAs, and the soon to introduce into service SOTA J-36, J-50, H-20, GJ-x, WZ-x.

The above don't even include all the hypersonic glide and cruise missiles, the single/two stage to orbit carrier and payload spaceplane and the reusable hypersonic aircraft.

Wait what?

2025 (well, including the very end of 2024) has been a feast of a year because basically all of China's anticipated new military hardware broke cover. 6th-gen fighters, next-gen LHA, next-gen UCAVs, 4th-gen tank etc. not to mention official service entry of latter-half current-gen designs such as J-35, Type-003, GJ-21 etc.

Basically the only big ticket item left, of the current generation or next generation, is the H-20 stealth bomber (which coincidentally may have only been delayed to fit in with the next-gen rather than the current generation).

What else is there left to reveal that would cause Yankee to say such a thing...

It's more like, "it's already 2025", as opposed to specifically "in 2025".

Personally, I also don't think the shadow is representative. Yankee's comment feels like a a non-answer. I think they intended to tease the H-20 (which is what basically everyone would infer), but didn't want to use the H-20's actual shape, so here we are.

Additionally, I'd like to know who posted this silhouette image?

It's posted by Captain小潇. It's just a silhouette of the tease, nothing official.

There is only 51 days until the end of this year, it ain't much time left

Yankee in today's Chahuahui: That shadow at the end, in 2025 is the H-20 really the only thing you are looking forward to?

Do you have the timestamp to that part?

It's the bat plane. Bruce Wayne shifted his base of operation to China cause that's the place where all things techy are based now.

Anyhow is the Pentagon gonna get a big surprise this boxing day again

That’s not feasible aerodynamics for the current gen. Perhaps a 7th gen near space bomber down the road

An aircraft with this shape would certainly fly without issue, but it definitely wouldn't meet the stealth requirements of modern fighter jets. Unless future plasma stealth technology can completely absorb radar waves and visible light.

Those kinks between the nose and the wings will feed a lot of turbulence into the engine intakes.
