X-47 was supposed to be exactly what you are using it for, as an unmanned wingman to do both A2A and A2G missions. For whatever reason the USN decided to ditch them, maybe due to budget, but then decided to keep them, but to be used as an unmanned refueling aircraft

This ought to make the Chinese sit up and take notice. The X-47B is not supposed to be stealthy (aside from its configuration and relatively small size) so it's not surprising some of them were hit. Still, they did lighten your workload considerably. Good stuff, man!

The Chinese sure do love their knockoff aircraft. Their Flankers are knockoffs, their AWACS are knockoffs, and even the bombers here (Xian H-6) being knockoffs of the old Tupolev Tu-16 Badger. Even more bizarre is that the H-6 is still in production, and that (Soviet) aircraft design is 70 years old!

[@boknight3269]

The last original idea china had was gun powder .

[@horusfalcon]

Yeah. Who knows? Maybe the Chinese need a fleet of medium ranged bombers on the cheap for a future invasion of Taiwan? Those H-6s could probably even reach Japan. Egad. Their range is supposedly some 3,200 miles, with a combat radius of 1,800 miles. Must be the turbofans they've been upgraded with. (Soloviev D-360-P2 aka WS-18). They are low-bypass, but quite powerful.

[@Additionalfundingrequired]

They’re all licensed 💀 and also the tu-16 just worked for china ig, they didn’t need any crazy bomber, just something that could carry a ton of missiles.

Their Flankers are licensed expect for the J-11, AWACS was licensed and was made with aid of Israel, the H-6 is licensed. Almost everything they have is licensed or indigenous made. Please do research before going into stereotypes.

Well the X-47B has the payload capavity to carry 10 AMRAAM, but they have poor kientic capability. If they just fire at the NEZ and break off instead of merging they could have all made it.
