China's new H-20 is to be nuclear armed, first truly strategic bomber

Problem with maneuvering at those speeds is that it takes up some many many miles to make a turn.Something the Sr71 found in turning circle at high Mach numbers.
its all about strength projection..World Police I think is the vision both China and USA have..All comes down to resources.

Lucky the usa has some new radars we wont talk about that no stealth not even ours which is significantly more advanced currently then the b2 was can hide from.

So no worries.

Plus chinas not crazy. They aint going to nuke the usa or anybody.

One of your main allies has had radars like that for a couple of decades too so there's nothing to worry about

I think they probobly have the capability to track stealth aircraft via the wake and atmospheric temperature differentiation they produce.

Combine such detection measures with state of the art radar and there really is nowhere to hide.

The media is FOS and is only reporting anything happening to try to scare the hell out of people. Most of what they're reporting as current news is either stuff that's been going on for years, or is stuff that people that follow the industry have been aware of for far longer than the "breaking news" headline.

The problem with tracking stealth, when it's flying somewhere, or even during an exercise, is that like all aircraft, they have systems that they aren't allowed to use that will help hide them from the radar. So tracking a stealth that isn't flying on a wartime mission really isn't that huge of a deal. Now if that radar tracks them when they're in full up war mode, with everything turned on and active, that's a big deal.

We already got something that makes nuclear weapons pale in comparison and china knows it.

Funny how there was all that talk about antimatter in the 80s and 90s and then everyone in the physics community all suddenly decided to shut up at the same time...

I guess with all the money they the got from US selling them our debt they have nothing better to do but to build their military for a take over of what country? I guess any country.

Well I guess western nations will allow them to get all their toys until is to late.

As usual.

And we stop them how? They have as much right to build up their military as we do.

At least we get to attack somebody, they have nobody to attack.

a reply to: marg6043

They're currently at best a regional power. Other than numbers they don't have a big enough advantage over their neighbors to take them before the US can get forces involved.
