The airing on TV of computer generated images showing China's Xian H-20 stealth bomber by state-owned broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) has apparently triggered a spate of discussions that's revealed more information about this hush-hush bomber.
Some of the most interesting comments about the next-generation H-20 were revealed by Rear Admiral Yin Zhuo, Director of the People Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) Expert Consultation Committee.
He said having the H-20 will become one of the symbols of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) as a strategic service.
Adm. Yin pointed out that China has never developed such a heavy and long-range strategic bomber before. He said China's current heavy bomber, the Xian H-6, isn't a true strategic bomber because it lacks the necessary long-range.
