This just looks like a stealth Su-34 or F-111 type strike fighter, or a rear line asset, a mini AWACS if you will, with the third engine powering a bunch of ASEA radar arrays and electronic warfare systems, also maybe a head controller of collaborative combat aircraft (highly advanced UCAVs). It’s not going to be a frontline fighter jet, it’s weapons bays are same size as the B-21s! The 5.5 or 6th generation fighter jet is the J-50. If the sensors are equivalent to those on the P-8 Poseidon, it could also make a good anti submarine warfare aircraft, something not talked about often, and quite critical to China countering the US Navy.
Could also see it as the Chinese response to the B-21 (which can also be loaded up with air to air missiles in a stealth missile truck configuration), probably why they’re getting it up and running so quickly and made the compromise on the third engine, which is required to run all the sensors, two engines don’t deliver enough power yet.
