Latest shot that proves that a 4th H-6K regiment was raised.

Do they even have that many missiles produced?

Lol I'd like to see CIWS deal with that

2009 estimates give them up to 500 LACM in service to their ground based strategic rocket force. And back then, there were no H-6Ks around.

So, I would cautiously say yes. The production rate for these munitions should be rather high (after all, China also offers them for export).

How many missiles do they have?
What's the availability rate of the bombers?
How many hours of maintenance do they need per flight hour?
Also, 3500 km combat range for a non-stealth, non-supersonic strategic bomber? Not exactly impressive.

Another clue for the profiliation would be that China is taking them out for a walk quite often.

They are literally flying them around in their disputed air-space every or so week.

Oh. Well thanks :)

>>32681603
The combat radius for the H-6 is not even close to 3500km, it's closer to 2000km at most.

Of course the Badger is inadequate, no matter how much they upgrade it. China knows it.

Which is why they are working on an actual long range bomber, which we will be able to see in the nigh future, according to the PLAAF Commander's own words.

>>32681657
Well, and with Trump they'll probably wanna speed things up and will want to start showing some of the development.
Which means we'll get to so some cool things pretty soon

I've used this site for reference:

http://www.military-today.com/aircraft/h6k.htm

Old variants are 1900-2000km due to fuel-inefficient turbojets. The H-6K's D-30KP is more fuel efficient and the airframe itself lighter. Furthermore, the internal fuel might have been increased due to detachable fuel-tank inside the bomb-bay. So, that improved range might be true.

>>32681657
>nigh future

You shills have been saying the H-20 would be ready by 08, then 09, then 10, etc, etc, etc. Pick a fucking date to shill already and settle on it.

>>32681685
>30KP
>The same engine on the MiG-31
>Fuel Efficient

There's a reason why they had to fill a bomb bay with fuel instead of payload, and it's not going to be because the engines are more efficient.

>>32681702
They are different D-30s than those on the MiG-31.

But yeah, at least they are better than the AM-3s they used before.

Badgers are still quite aethetic bombers when you do away their old cockpits.

>>32681603

They're made to dump a load on Taiwan, for which they're adequate.

>>32681815
And Taiwan won't do anything to shoot those slow, non-stealth bombers, right?

A Taiwan scenario doesnt need the H-6Ks, since they can just as well do that with their ground based LACM launchers.

Those bombers are used to attack Guam and Okinawa, if anything.

Japan did, when they scrambled 30 F-15Js a week ago just to meet six H-6Ks crossing the Tsushima strait.

South Korea also scrambled 10 F15Ks and KF-16s.

Yeah, that's pretty much their answer to the japanese foray into the South China Sea.

Serves to remind them where their attention ought to be.

In theory, right now Tu-16 is oldest bomber still at service, because it officially entered service in Soviet Air Force in 1954, year prior B-52.
Tupolev would be proud.

>>32681651
2000km for the earliest variant

Recent ones have new engines.

[Citation needed]

The first fucking source for the H-20 development was in 2008. How the fuck would they have made it that same year?

Don't call others shills until you actually know the information, or you'll end up looking stupid.

That recent statement by PLAAF General Ma Xiaotian certainly raised the expectations...

A flying wing H-20 could really potentially arrive sooner than we think, since the engine question wouldnt be so problematic as with a supersonic bomber plan.

Even with just four D-30KP2s, China could have viable powerplants for a B-2 like bomber, as latter doesnt have any more modern or more powerful engines either (F-118, 77kN maximum thrust).
