New mysterious stealth bomber seen in China

The satellite image shows the fact that China has developed a new stealth bomber, reports the Defense Blog.

The plane was detected at a research facility in Chengdu city.



As it turns out, the mysterious Chinese aircraft resembles Northrop Grumman's B-2 Spirit and the unmanned drone X-47B. Several sources add that the aircraft is the Xian H-20 heavy strategic bomber.

In September 2016, China's National Defense Ministry confirmed that the new generation strategic bomber was being developed, reports the Defense Blog.

"We are now developing a next-generation long-range bomber and you will see it in the future," said Ma Xiaotian, People's Liberation Army Air Force commander.

Analysts note that the new type bomber can enter service by 2025 and is expected to replace existing Xian H-6K bombers.
