A double-page spread in a state-run Chinese magazine seems to have leaked intimate details about a Chinese bomber jet carrying a new weapon.
Since the accidental leak, state-controlled media has gone into a deep cover-up but military experts believe that the government have been caught red-handed.
Modern Ships magazine, which is produced by the Chinese government splashed high-quality computer-generated images of the country's newest addition to its bomber, the H-6N over the front page and double-page spread.
The intricate images show the bomber jet carrying a large ballistic missile under its fuselage. It appears that the missile looks similar to one of the Dong Feng-15 ballistic missile which is currently used by China's People's Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) as aircraft carrier killers.
However, Global Times which is ran by the state went into damage control, announcing: "The images are computer generated, merely conceptual and have no official background."
Australian Strategic Policy Institute Analyst, Malcom Davis told Flight Global: "If (this) is correct then this would be an impressive anti-ship standoff capability for the PLA (People’s Liberation Army), that would extend the utility of the DF-21D out well beyond the first island chain,
"That would theoretically match the ground-launched DF-26 anti-ship capable (intermediate ballistic missile), and increase the risk for US aircraft carrier battle groups.

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that . - MR Smith Goes To Washington-
