Yes and sorry，I meant to say that the third prototype of the J-36 has gone through multiple taxiing tests.

No new updates on H-20?

No new updates on H-20?

There's no place for single role planes in modern warfare. J-36 is versatile. J-36 replace H-20.

Yes, so the only question is when and is this still this year or Next!?

CCTV and Xinhua News Agency's social media accounts simultaneously mentioned that the "H-20" and "J-36" are coming soon......
Perhaps the official agencies intend to announce these two "new toys" by putting them directly into service.

Chinese version of TikTok-Douyin

I just verified it again. The relevant video is still there. I accessed it using my own Douyin account, and the screenshot is as follows:

Indeed this was on Weibo posted by 拓跋尊

@Deino

One point to note:

The account that published the video is indeed from Xinhua News Agency and CCTV.
However, the video is in an interview format. The speaker is Du Wenlong, a well-known military commentator. He does not represent the official stance of any government agency.

Xinhua News Agency and CCTV sometimes use this method to release "misinformation." For example, they frequently featured a resident military expert, Zhang Zhaozhong, in their previous programs. However, events have often proven his opinions to be completely wrong.
This isn't because Zhang Zhaozhong was uninformed and speaking nonsense, but precisely because he knew the truth that he deliberately spoke misleadingly. This is a form of information warfare.

Therefore, this news story should be treated with caution.

Shares of Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Company soared.

The capital market has always been the most sensitive to news. People speculated that the capital market might have received some mysterious information about the H-20.

Judging from some recently released open bidding documents, the comprehensive iron bird test rig for the H-20 completed its bidding process about two weeks ago. Given the time required for contract signing, equipment manufacturing, delivery, installation, and commissioning, as well as the various tests that must be conducted on the iron bird rig to ensure the safety of the maiden flight, this means the earliest possible date for the H-20's first flight would be at the end of 2027, with a higher likelihood in 2028.

Is it this one?

H-20 should be a large UAV.
