Does China have it's own Groom Lake/Area 51 testing facility? I find it hard to believe that PLAAF would be as casual with a stealthy bomber as they were with J-20.

After all stealth bombers are generally seen as crown jewels what can be compared to ICBM's.

Good point ... as far as I understand the regular proceedings of flight testings, all is done in the early stages at the CFTE at Xi'an-Yanliang, where also XAC has its factory and production facilities. Only later on in the phase of testing these types are transferred to the FTTC at Cangzhou-Cangxian, Jugucheng or esp. Dingxin.

But if others know more ... I'm eager to learn.

New nuclear posture review(2018) mentions neither rumored regional nor strategic bomber for China in development.
They mention only nuclear delivery systems, though. Are americans sure this won't be?
Document has J.Mattis signature on it, too high level to have stupid mistakes.

Amusing.
As reliable as Chinese 270 nuclear bombs not changed from 80's.
But i like it how they're bury head in the sand :)

Just found this cover and I must admit I'm a bit surprised to see it again after all the time. :eek:

I remember that there was once a time long, long ago, when we were quite sure that at least such a project was real ...

What do they say now??

Sometimes I’m thinking does China really have a bomber programme ??

Global reach no doubt

Can’t wait to see it like a dream come true !
