There are only a few types of bombers in active service in the world, but the Bomber 6 is an alternative. When the Bomber 6K appeared, the media and experts even hyped up the Bomber 6K as a quasi-strategic bomber. Is that true? In fact, by looking at a few comparison pictures, you will find that when there is no alternative to the H-6K, it is a last resort. Comparing other types of bombers and standards, you will understand why the H-6 is not a strategic bomber. The H6 series also has the advantages of the H6 series. A rational look at the role and needs of the H6 may allow public opinion to finally understand why the H6 should be developed.
The world’s active bombers are the American B2 stealth strategic bomber, B52H strategic bomber, B1B strategic bomber; Russia’s TU160 strategic bomber, TU95MS strategic bomber, TU22M3 bomber, and finally Bomber 6 series bombers. The criteria for judging a bomber are the range and take-off weight first, followed by the bomb load and combat radius. The three American bombers are all strategic bombers, the B2 is also a stealth strategic bomber, and the Russian TU160 and TU95MS are also strategic bombers. The range of
B2A is up to 11,100 kilometers, the normal take-off weight is 152 tons, the maximum take-off weight is 170 tons, and the empty weight is 72 tons. Such data is quite terrible. The B2 stealth bomber can also carry a variety of weapons and ammunition, including various precision guided bombs and JASSM cruise missiles. The most famous of these is the mother of bombs. The B2 also has AN/APQ-181 phased array radar, which allows the B2 bomber to have a strong reconnaissance capability. The B2 has the strongest combat effectiveness and survivability among the active bombers. Comparison of
B52H bomber and B2 stealth bomber
B52H bomber and B1B bomber are also typical strategic bombers. They are large in size, carry a large amount of ammunition, and can also mount cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles. However, the US Air Force does not like B1B bombers. The maintenance and use cost is too expensive, and it is not as affordable as the B52H. This also shows that the survival rate of traditional bombers in the modern high-tech war environment has dropped sharply.
Russian Tu160M2 supersonic strategic bombers
Tu160M and Tu95MS also have strong strength, and can also carry cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles. The maximum range of Figure 22M3 is only 7000 kilometers, but its bomb load can reach 20 tons. If calculated according to the bomb load of 6K, Figure 22M3 can also reach the range of a strategic bomber. After all, it has a large body and a lot of fuel. The H-6 is different. The H-6 series is a product that imitates Figure 16. The inherent design itself is not good. It is the standard for a medium-sized bomber, and the early load of bombs is pitiful, and it is even not as good as the J-16 multi-purpose fighter. The model before the Boom 6K had a maximum bomb load of only 9 tons, and it was only increased to 12 tons by the Boom 6K. Compared with the previous model,

bomber 6K has improved a lot. With the new radar, it can launch air-launched cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles, which improves the overall performance of the bomber. Public opinion and some experts believe that it is a "strategic bomber", more to highlight the importance of bombing 6K, after all, this is the first bomber that can launch long-range cruise missiles. However, according to the standard of a strategic bomber, the bomber 6K is unqualified. The maximum range of the bomber 6K is 7,200 kilometers, but this is based on the case of a bomb load of 9 tons, and the combat radius is only nearly 3,500 kilometers. It is an active mainstream bomber. The lowest.
actually thought about making major changes to the H6 before. For example, the previous H8 program was equipped with two imported engines. The range was increased to 9,000 to 10,000 kilometers, the combat radius was increased to 5,000 kilometers, and the bomb load was greatly increased. Dismount for reasons. Now who has the strength, it is possible to upgrade the Bo-6 bomber, or even the magic change, but the big environment has already let this idea go. The H-6K and later models have already met the demand, and can effectively protect national security and interests. Moreover, non-stealth bombers can easily become the enemy's first target. There will be no H-6 strategic bombers in the future. And everyone's vision should be more long-term, such as the future stealth strategic bomber.
