The Chinese fighter-bomber of the new generation may be similar to the Russian Su-34. Images of the alleged appearance of a promising winged machine from the Middle Kingdom appeared on the Network.

It is still difficult to say how much the published concept corresponds to what will happen in reality. However, China has long mastered the production of its own clones of Russian Su-27 and Su-33 fighters, so it is possible that a combat aircraft will be created on their basis with the placement of the crew as on the "thirty-fourth".
To some military experts, these drawings reminded another Russian development-a two-seat Su-27 KUB created in the 90s, also known as the Su-33UB, which had a number of unique features, unfortunately, did not become a serial product.
Currently, the People's Liberation Army Air Force operates Xian JH-7 fighter-bombers, of which about 200 have been produced. They are developed on the basis of technologies of the 70s and they can no longer be considered fully modern. Therefore, probably, for the purpose of replacement, a new aircraft is being designed.
Recently, in a commercial for the PLA Air Force, they showed what the H-20 strategic bomber might look like, and its outlines have a lot in common with the American B-2 and B-21.
