There is a constant competition between China and America regarding weapons of war. Meanwhile, while on one hand America has made B-21 bomber stealth aircraft, on the other hand China has made stealth flying-wing drone to defeat its enemies, which is considered to be the next generation bomber.

A video of this large stealth ‘cranked kite’ drone, informally called GJ-X, has been circulating on Chinese social media since October 19. According to a report by The War Zone, this aircraft seen earlier this week appears to be the same aircraft that was captured in August in satellite photos taken at China’s Malan Air Base in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

B-21 Raider will become the backbone of American bomber force

The wingspan of the Malan Base aircraft was estimated at about 42 meters (138 ft), which puts it in a very rare category for stealth unmanned aircraft, according to an earlier report.

Due to this size it is comparable to America’s Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider, which is an American stealth strategic bomber, which has a wingspan of 40-42 meters. The B-21, currently under construction, will be capable of delivering both relatively conventional and nuclear payloads and will form the backbone of the future US bomber force, working alongside the B-52.

Possibility of unmanned stealth bomber

However, the purpose of the new Chinese drone is not clear yet. Some military experts say it could be a large unmanned combat air vehicle focused on kinetic operations, while other reports suggest it could be an unmanned stealth bomber.

In a video posted online last month, Chen Xi, a Chinese military observer and commentator, said the drone seen at the Malan base was a medium-range strategic bomber. Chen said, ‘The next generation H-20 bomber has not yet been released, but now we have a strategic-level medium-range bomber, which is comparable in size to the B-21.’
