In the Chinese media: Xian H-20 stealth bombers are seen in India, although even our Air Force does not see them in their composition

China commented on publications in the Indian media, where it was stated that the PLA Air Force was conducting exercises using the Xian H-20 stealth bomber near the borders of India. In the Indian media, it was stated that the Chinese air force was using the exercise as an opportunity to test its promising stealth strategic bomber. In particular, such material was published by the Indian columnist Sumit Kumar Singh.

The Chinese media, commenting on the publication of the Indian observer, note that the air force exercises in the area of ​​the Hotan airbase in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) are indeed being held. But no stealth bombers are involved. It is pointed out that in China they never combine military exercises with the testing of promising military equipment that has not yet entered service and is under development.

The Sohu publication indicates that the J-11 fighters (licensed copy of the Su-27 - note "VO") and J-16 (developed on the basis of the J-11) are involved in the exercises of the PRC Air Force in the west of the country. It was noted that earlier fighters of the new generation J-20 were seen at the Hotan airfield, but this year they have already left this military base, going to the central part of the PRC.

Chinese readers sneer at Indian press reports. So, it is indicated that "in India they see the stealth bombers of the Chinese Air Force at the exercises, although they are not at these exercises, and it is not known if they are even in their final form."

They have learned to see what is not. Xian H-20 stealth bombers are seen in India, although even our Air Force does not see them in their composition

- commentary in the Chinese media.

According to official data, the Xian H-20 made its first flight back in 2013. It is known that the aircraft is made according to the flying wing scheme and has a special coating that makes it invisible to the radar of a potential enemy. At the same time, the completion of work on the Xian H-20 and its introduction into service with the PLA Air Force was not officially announced.

... It is indicated that in China they never combine military exercises with tests of promising military equipment that has not yet entered service.

To be honest, it's not clear who to believe
Could a Hindu have composed, or the Chinese could have lied
Both sides would not be very worried about this :))))

[d1975]

Yes, the Chinese do not lie here, it makes no sense, they just walk in front of you and will be the first, they plow, and the Indians dance! The discrepancy is too great.

[Avior]

If the Chinese wanted to check how the prototypes work in the conditions of exercises in an environment close to combat, then they could well have done this and not advertised. It is not customary for them to brag in advance.

[Shurik70]

Well, in Ukraine, soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces also knocked out several Armata tanks during the battles for Donbas. They didn’t take any photos - the battery on the phone ran out.
The usual thing

[Avior]

A common thing in all wars and times.
During the Second World War, there were more Tigers killed in the reports than the Germans actually released them.
And in the memoirs about the time of the outbreak of the war, and the damaged Rheinemetals come across

[Pereira]

Tigers are like that, spit and grind.
But the padded Ferdinands are something. Even a famous film was noted for this.
I am a patriot of my country, but not to that extent.
However, there is one version, but not for this site.

[Pechkin]

But the padded Ferdinands are something.

And that the Ferdinands did not suffer losses. In the area of ​​Ponyri or Nikopol bridgehead, etc.

Quote: Pereira

But the padded Ferdinands are something. Even a famous film was noted for this.

This deep thought of yours is not entirely clear. Did you mean the damaged Ferdinands at the beginning of the war, or just these self-propelled guns? The wiki has a plaque describing the damage and causes of damage to these elephant.

[Avior]

I think this is about this

According to the calculations of the historian Mikhail Svirin [1], the memoir literature tells about more than 800 "Ferdinands" who allegedly took part in battles in various sectors of the front. The emergence of the myth is associated with the wide popularity of this SPG in the Red Army (due to the wide circulation of special leaflets [22] devoted to methods of dealing with this vehicle) and poor awareness of the personnel about other SPGs of the Wehrmacht - almost all German SPGs were called "Ferdinand", especially large enough and having a rear arrangement of the fighting compartment

[Pereira]

Thank you, Sergey. This is exactly what we are talking about.

[FIR FIR]

Fear has big eyes. The Indians do too.

[Cananecat]

Hindus:
- Do you see the newest Chinese gopher?
- I see. Are we dancing?
- Let's sing !!!
Chinese:
- Do Indians dance and sing?
- Yes, you think you've seen our gopher?
- There was a gopher ... there was no gopher ... science does not know about this ...
On the VO website:
- The Hindus are dancing, the Chinese are silent ... no one has seen the gopher, but he is ... (c)

[Pereira]

Congratulations to Indian intelligence.

[CommanderDIVA]

The possibility that the Chinese made a glider and the stuffing of this bomber can be believed, probably they took the American B-2, which bombed Yugoslavia, as a basis, but what kind of engines the Chinese could use, they still do not fuse with their own, they do not give out the necessary characteristics

[rocket757]

In the Chinese media: Xian H-20 stealth bombers are seen in India, although even our Air Force does not see them in their composition

... What you would expect!
Verbal skirmish in the media.

[Prax1]

It depends on which planes, their fakes may not be seen, but they see the rafali perfectly. Our dryers, due to the outdated radar, most likely also do not see

[Lew]

everyone sees to the best of their worldview)))
