This new aircraft could change the balance of power in the world. Currently the United States is the only nation to operate a strategic stealth bomber fleet like the B-2. This new Chinese stealth bomber is the type of aircraft that is sent to destroy an entire enemy airfield or soften up defenses for an invasion. The H-20 would have major ramifications for a possible invasion of Taiwan if it is able to evade their air defense systems.

But what kind of weapons and munitions would this stealth bomber drop if its stealthiness is truly able to match the American aircraft? It would drop a copy of the same bomb that the American stealth bombers use of course a JDAM copycat. China created the FT PGB in 2006 which is a family of chinese built precision guided munitions created at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle technology. They range from 100kg to 500 kg or 1,000 pounds. The F-12 variant has a rocket booster that can be attached to extend its range to 150 km, providing a release velocity of 600–1000 km/h.
