If that guy was standing up(and of average or slightly below average height) than WS-18 seems more than "just" a D-30KP-II copy, it seems bigger as D-30KP-II has an overall diameter of 1.455m while WS-18 seems to be more on the size of ~1.6-1.7m diameter(Assuming the technician is of slightly below average height).

Is that all the missiles it can carry, or can it do beast mode with missile racks to double the amount of missiles.

You are asking about quantity, when the question should really be about total mass.

YJ-12s are heavy.

If they develop multi ejector racks and a new smaller (but inevitably less capable and lower payload) missile, then yes they can carry more.

If you are asking if they can carry more YJ-12s than this, the answer is no, and it's been known for nearly a decade that the H-6K/J airframe is only able to carry 4 YJ-12s and only on the innermost 4 stations.

Does the H-6 have any toilet facilities on board? With the refueling of the H-6N there could be long flights, what is provided for the pilots comfort? I read that on the recent B-2 mission to Iran, the pilots had a toilet and microwave. Sorry but I tried searching for this information and found nothing online.
