Thanks for letting us know SGT Damaso V Santana that the "Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force is working on developing a new long-range strategic bomber."
I concur with the writer's assessment " A platform that would be capable of carrying a significant payload over great distances would be very useful over the vast reaches of the Pacific theater because there are few land bases available.
Outside the Chinese mainland, Beijing only has a handful of vulnerable artificial island airstrips from which it could try to project its air power forward. Thus a new long-range bomber with intercontinental range and a large payload would enable China to threaten U.S. forces at longer ranges.
That could mean using massed bomber formations armed with cruise missiles to attack U.S. carrier strike groups further out to sea than is currently possible with the H-6K — similar to how the Soviet Union planned to attack those vessels using the Tupolev Tu-22M3 Backfire during the Cold War."

Is China attempting to build a Nuclear Triad? Seems antiquated, doesn't it? Seems like space platforms would be superior to bombers
