  • Its weapons load is over 3 times that of the "Sharp Sword" UAV
  • Its top speed is over 3 times that of the "Wing Loong" UAV
  • Its endurance is over 3 times that of the J-10
  • Its "stealth strike capabilities" (paraphrase - please improve translation!) exceed that of the J-15 and J-16
So high subsonic blended wing with 6 tons of payload and range of over 4,000km, endurance over 5 hours.
Something of the same design and half the size of a B21 bomber is required for that.
It has STOL capabilities and can operate from an "island airport" (code word for aircraft carrier?)
This throws me off completely.

It’s referring to the air bases in the SCS.

Sounds like a hi component of the unmanned attack platform supplemented by something like the GJ-11. Carrier focused perhaps? Big enough to be multirole and catch up with fighters in performance. Enough room perhaps to justify many variants for the navy and airforce.

Still waiting for disclosure on the dark sword. Could this be one and the same? The leaked "full size" mockup of dark sword certainly looks like it might have those range and payload described.
Doubt it’s dark sword. Dark sword is a supersonic design.

He means just another H-6 Bomber.


And how does he ( @dxq4412 ) come to this absurd conclusion which does not fit to the above mentioned parameters?

is not very much famous for being too reliable and most of his artworks are fan-boy stuff? Or am I wrong?

It's just a joke, don't be that serious XD

People in Chinese forums always jokes about the amount of H-6 variants.

is a strange case. I vividly recall that some of his drawings (of UCAVs) were bang-on accurate 'predications' of the final products many months before their photos were first leaked out. But most of the time, he seems to produce drawings just for fun, but it's hard sometimes to tell which of his drawings have basis in reality.

The images below are an example of his enigmatic style. Obviously the they don't match any known airframe. The accompanying poetic verse expresses something along the lines of (in my awkwardly poetic translation): "however bigly people dare to dare, the 'earth' can spring a match for that dare." Of course, part of his Weibo username means "grassroots", and grass and their roots are from the ground. So 'earth' could simply mean his imagination, or maybe not. I'm getting carried away.

I'd keep a watch on his account but not take everything he posts too seriously.

I would translate “人有多大胆,地有多大产” into “The world of ingenuity is as big/vast/great as man’s daring”, or perhaps to match the pun he’s evoking with 胆 and the large diameter bombs, “The world of ingenuity is as big/vast/great as man’s bombast”.

This was a slogan during the Great Leap Forward.
