China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) is developing the H-20 stealth bomber to bolster its nuclear triad and project power across the Indo-Pacific. Resembling the U.S. B-2 Spirit, the H-20 reportedly has a range of 8,000 miles and a 40-ton payload, capable of striking key U.S. and allied targets, including Taiwan and Guam.
This flying-wing bomber may carry nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and anti-ship ordnance, posing a serious challenge to U.S. air defences. As China edges closer to operational readiness, the H-20 symbolizes its ambition to rival U.S. air power.
Critics point out China’s tendency to “borrow” foreign designs, with the H-20 mirroring America’s B-2 and the upcoming B-21 Raider. While the PLAAF boasts its stealth capabilities, significant details remain unknown, keeping global military analysts on alert.
