China made history as the only nation other than the U.S. to ever field a stealth fighter jet, and a new report on China’s military power from the Defense Intelligence Agency just revealed yet another batch of stealth combat aircraft projects.
China "is developing new medium- and long-range stealth bombers to strike regional and global targets," the report reads. "Stealth technology continues to play a key role in the development of these new bombers, which probably will reach initial operational capability no sooner than 2025."

The largest in world history.
So we are building them up, stronger and stronger.
We are doing that. Right now.
From the article:
But the DIA hinted at something a bit more sporty in its report for the second mystery bomber.
“These new bombers will have additional capabilities, with full-spectrum upgrades compared with current operational bomber fleets, and will employ many fifth-generation fighter technologies in their design,” the report said.
And which American bomber does it share an uncanny similarity to?

Hillary didn’t happen to pre-position any technical specs for it on her email server, before receiving big contributions, did she?
Just a similar, but related link from three hours ago:
Title: Trade Hawks Quietly Bristle as Trump’s China Deadline Approaches
This is from Bloomberg. Here is the article, here:
To paraphrase Shakespeare, “B-2, or not B-2. That is the question.”
Thearticle asks the question:
“Could China combine the stealth of the B-2 with the fighter prowess of an F-22?”
Magic 8 Ball say no.
From the article:
“Stealth technology continues to play a key role in the development of these new bombers, which probably will reach initial operational capability no sooner than 2025.”
So in other words, look for this to begin testing the end of next year.
And no, I am completely series.
Picture in the article sort of looks like a stealthified Sukhoi Su-34 ( Su-27-based attack bomber). Probably similar performance (range, bomb load, etc.) but with stealth. Theater? Yes. Intercontinental? Doubtful unless the PLAAF significantly increases its aerial refueling capabilities.
So, are these pimped-out Su-27 clones or are they still pimping-out MiG-21 knockoffs?
their commercial technology is poorly pirated crap; their military technology is even more poorly pirated crap.
I don’t agree.
They have landed a craft on the far side of the moon, and basically make everything sold in every Walmart, and every other retail outlet throughout America.
(A bit of exaggeration. A tiny bit...)
So, we’ll learn to speak Chinese one way or another?
I speak a bit now.
But America has a very serious challenge facing it in China, and FAR TOO MANY AMERICANS are perfectly ok selling out America.
Far too many. On both sides of the aisle.
