Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
This time they got an aircraft that looks eerily similar to the F-117 Nighthawk.

BEIJING – China has revealed a stealth drone that that has two internal bomb bays that could carry payload of about 4,400lbs.

Dubbed ‘Sharp Sword’, built by Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the unmanned aerial vehicle won second place in China’s National Science and Technology Advancement Prizes, and is the first non-NATO craft of its kind, according to Popular Science.

The monthly magazine said the Sharp Sword could enter service as soon as 2019-2020 for use in reconnaissance missions and for tracking foreign warships, and eventually, it could be used for combat.

No biggie. China can't project power and stealth only hides them from fire control radars.

Looks neat though.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Oooh, a military version of a "Can I copy your homework?" meme.

Interesting, but I have a suspicion they've modified some blueprints they recieved somehow and changed it a bit so it wasn't a copy, and for their own improvements/modifications.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I mean, dedicated stealth aircraft like this all have to look similar.

Dubbed ‘Sharp Sword’

I will dedicate my life to getting the job of naming military equipment just so I can dub something "Pointy Stick."
