Business Insider: US intelligence report reveals another mysterious Chinese stealth bomber project
* A new report on China's military power from the Defense Intelligence Agency just revealed yet another Chinese stealth bomber project.
* China is known to be working on a long-range stealth bomber that's most likely a match to the US's B-2 Spirit bomber, but the intelligence report suggested a new fighter/bomber.
* The fighter/bomber concept makes a lot of sense for China in the Pacific, where a war with the US or Japan is a rising possibility to prepare for.
* China has some very long range air-to-air missiles, and a medium-range stealth bomber that can out-reach short range US fighters like the F-35 could give them an edge in combat over the South China Sea.
China made history as the only nation other than the US to ever field a stealth fighter jet, and a new report on China's military power from the Defense Intelligence Agency just revealed yet another batch of stealth combat aircraft projects.
China "is developing new medium- and long-range stealth bombers to strike regional and global targets," the report reads. "Stealth technology continues to play a key role in the development of these new bombers, which probably will reach initial operational capability no sooner than 2025," it continued.
