More Details Emerge On China’s Stealth JH-XX Fighter-Bomber

National Interest: China’s Stealth JH-XX Fighter-Bomber Is a Giant Mystery 

China appears to be working on several new fifth-generation planes. 

As China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) pursues a slew of ambitious fifth-generation fighter jet projects, a mysterious new bomber looms in the backdrop. 

A 2019 Defense Intelligence Agency report confirmed that the PLAAF is developing two next-generation fighters: the H-20 strategic bomber and a tactical “fighter-bomber.” The former—discussed in a recent profile by The National Interest—is a long-distance, heavy subsonic stealth bomber with the reported capacity to threaten U.S. assets as far as Hawaii. But the latter, commonly known by the working name “JH-XX,” remains mired in mystery.
