I’m not sure… I still think it may be a fake.

Same aircraft or no? Looks like wing sweep changed. Variable geometry wings back to life?

By the looks just different angle of the photo

Source of the photo?
That should be the H-20, if it is a real photo.
worse F-111?
Pretty sure the F-111 has the radar signature of an overfed herd of cows

everyone has their favorites ╮(￣▽￣"")╭

Is the F-111 still heavily classified?
some of it probably still is
i doubt the chengdu can dump and burn though
and i doubt it can carry over 30 thousand pounds of weapons
35k for the FB-111A, also dont think the Chengdu can carry 6 nukes with a top speed of mach 2.5
I think every stealth strike fighter has less payload capability than the previous generation, but it is a payoff in many situations

funny enough the F-111 has internal bomb bays. and apparently one time IAS was mach 3.2 at 60k feet in an F-111. so it is a 6th gen air supremacy fighter in disguise as a 3rd generation tactical bomber
