The first images have emerged of a Chinese stealth bomber that could evade radar to strike US territories.
The Xian H-20 bomber has not been officially confirmed by Beijing, but Modern Weaponry, a magazine run by China North Industries Group, a state-owned defence corporation, has published a computer-generated image of it on the cover of its June issue.
It showed a weapon bay, two adjustable tail wings, an airborne radar and stealth air intakes and engine nozzles on both sides. The plane is covered in a dark grey, radar- absorbent material. Its flying wing design appears strikingly similar to the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bomber that has been a mainstay of America’s long-range nuclear threat since 1997.
