H-6N is the most advanced bomber in the H-6 series currently known to be developed by XAC Aircraft Company of AVIC Group. The is an improvement on the original H-6K.
The biggest difference between the H-6K and the H-6K is that the H-6N has a thick and long metal hard pipe extending above its nose, which is the aerial refueling pipe. It gives the H-6N the ability to receive refueling in the air.
Considering that the maximum flight distance of the H-6K may reach 8,000 kilometers, and there are also rumors of 9,000 kilometers on the Internet, it seems a bit exaggerated. Therefore, after receiving an aerial refueling, the maximum flight distance of the H-6N should be at least more than 1,000 kilometers. The most likely flight distance of the H-6N is 9,000-10,000 kilometers. It is a proper long-range bomber.
When American and Russian bombers can fly 12,000 kilometers away, the H-6K, including the H-6N, which has the ability to receive fuel in the air, cannot be called a bomber in the true sense. It may be included in the category of "quasi-strategic bomber" .
Another difference between the H-6N and the H-6K is that the belly of the H-6K appears to be very full and extremely smooth in appearance, while the belly of the H-6N has a long and square recessed part. , which attracted great attention from netizens.
Later, the H-6N appeared on the Internet. A missile with a warhead that clearly showed cone characteristics was attached to its belly. It was interpreted by netizens and foreign intelligence analysts as a certain type of Dongfeng hypersonic ballistic missile.
This picture of the H-6N carrying a Dongfeng ballistic missile in its belly position caused a sensation on the Internet. It is believed that the H-6N equipped by the Chinese Air Force actually has strategic strike capabilities. The maximum flight distance of
+ the strike distance of ballistic missile gives the H-6N a very terrifying long-range and nuclear strike method. It can launch hypersonic ballistic missiles outside the defense zone and has "one-stop" capabilities against high-value targets. The ability to "seal the throat with a sword".
Based on this judgment, under the premise of carrying ballistic missiles, the H-6N has the means to attack important naval and air force bases on the west coast, including bombers and other high-value targets, including fighter aircraft and aircraft carriers, and warships. Its powerful combat power is surprising. Analysts from the military intelligence community were impressed and gave high marks to the H-6N's strike capabilities.
H-6K carries six "Eagle Strike"-12 heavy-duty supersonic anti-ship missiles with a maximum range of Mach 4 and a maximum range of more than 400 kilometers, or six KD-20 land attack cruise missiles with a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers. The navies and air forces of other countries trying to contain China's development have a huge headache.
Now, the H-6N carries hypersonic ballistic missiles and has both nuclear and conventional strike means. This has been proven by relevant pictures on the Internet. Such a powerful long-range ground strike capability has made other countries’ navies and air forces trying to contain China’s development more demanding. The food and tea are even less fragrant.
H-6N has the ability to launch hypersonic ballistic missiles outside the defense zone, so that it will not be intercepted by fighter jets of other countries’ navy and air force. After all, the range of fighter jets is limited, so the H-6N is a “big killer” in wartime. ".
It is not a strategic bomber in the traditional sense. Even with aerial refueling, the range is not as far as that of famous strategic bombers such as the American and Russian B-52H, Tu-160, etc., but with the added strength of hypersonic ballistic missiles, The H-6N has the strike capability of a strategic bomber.
At present, with the development of air-launched missile technology, strategic bombers may also risk being shot down by flying over the opponent's head and dropping ordinary aerial bombs in the air.
For strategic bombers, they must launch ground attack missiles outside the defense zone to hit targets deep on the coast; or launch anti-ship missiles to attack destroyers , cruisers , aircraft carriers , amphibious Attack ship and other high-value maritime targets.
So-called bombers have actually become missile-carrying aircraft since they have developed to this day. They carry missiles and launch missiles. This should be relatively easy for readers to understand. High-value bombers, throwing ordinary aerial bombs , have long become history.
