Chinese F-117 enquiry

Thornton
Can anyone confirm or correct the existance of an aircraft under develpoment in China called the H-9?

According to several reports that I have come across, China is in the process of developing an aircraft known only as the H-9. It is reported to be under the control of Xian and has a similar design to the F-117. No first flight has been reported so far but given Chinas ability to keep such projects under a cloak of secrecy (such as the J-10)I assume by now it should have taken place. Such an aircraft would no doubt be a serious threat to Taiwanese military facilities or even U.S. battle groups (if the H-9 could be equipped with Eagle Strike missiles or similar weapons).

On another subject – has anyone got a fresh update on Chinas attack heilcopter? In my opinion, regardless of what South Africa has said, the “fakes” printed in AFM seem logical to me as China likes to copy foreign designs. (Fennec, Frelon, Dauphin etc.)

Any info’ as always will be valued !!!
