While previous artworks depicted shapes of Beijing’s LRS (long-range strike) inspired to several existing U.S. planes, including the F-117 Nighthawk, the YF-23 and the B-2, a new image has recently popped up on the prolific Chinese Internet.
It shows a manned tactical plane, with internal weapons bay as well as external pylons which carry stand-off missiles. The cockpit reminds the one of the Soviet-era Su-24 Fencer, a side-by-side two-seater.
The “new” shape seems like an evolution of previous concepts, even though it may well be just fan art.

One of the things that frustrates me the most about defense contractors like Northrup Gruman, Lockheed Martin, Bell, and etc, is the fact that they have no scruples in manufacturing and selling products to our enemies. I understand it's a business but man, how can the military get ahead when the same product is made and sold for numerous countries?
