In its new report, the US Department of Defence has expressed concerns not only about the J-20 Mighty Dragon fighter jet. The Pentagon also revealed a bit about the H-20.

Here's What We Know

The H-20 can be considered a secret Chinese development, as there is almost no information about the aircraft. It is a strategic bomber, which outwardly resembles the American B-2 Spirit.

The H-20 is being developed by the Chinese company Xian Aircraft Industry Co. The new strategic bomber will perform conventional missions and will be able to carry nuclear weapons. This was first reported by the state-run Chinese media. The Pentagon report also mentions this information.

Another problem for the US could be H-6s. These are strategic bombers, which are built on the basis of the Soviet Tu-16. The H-6N version is operated by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy and can carry aeroballistic missiles, including those with nuclear warheads.
