The development of H-8 is said to match the American B-2A as far as possible. H-8 is a secret strategic bomber and the first stealth plane for China. The bomber was designed by the 603 institute and manufactured in Xi’an. The H-8 bomber will carry a new steal cruise missile. The range is up to ten thousand kilometers. It is estimated to have the range of reaching targets on the continental United States. The aircraft is estimated to load weapons of about 18 tons.

GUEST41376	So we do not have to purchase the Russian TU-22M backfire bomber or TU-160 blackjack heavy long range bomber

GUEST18788	I'm not sure how much a steal bomber is effective against develop countries. Develop countries can hold SAR satellite and optical satellite (to detect the engine heat) and track them all the way to the target by SAR satellite and also with help of ground radar ( as you know the exact place), Russia claims the can detect with the SAM 400

GUEST96141	Now the Chinese government, Chengdu, Shenyang all together must call in the Pakistani government to develop the 5th generation fighter jointly, more quickly & effectively in this time recession. Instead of Chengdu & Shenyang competing against each other misusing valuable time & money, this method will be much faster & cheaper, it will be seen as the continuation of the successful JF-17 project.

Calling in the Pakistanis at this point of time is a complete waste of time and money. They don't have any money to invest, no advanced technology to share or any qualified scientists or engineers as such. The JF-17 project, though successful, was a different thing. China took it from where the USA left it due to its early ninety's sanctions on Pakistan. Pakistan only shared some development cost, otherwise it is another Chinese fighter jet like the J-10 or J-11 ( not too sure about J-11 being completely Chinese technology though ). But I agree that Chengdu & Shenyang should seat together with whatever they have achieved till now and put up a joint effort to make the first Chinese 5TH generation fighter jet more quickly, efficiently with minimized development cost & production cost. Of course Pakistanis can buy those jets then, as they can & probably will buy this Chinese stealth long-range bomber - H-8, for sure.
