H-6K more likely a double as a maritime strike aircraft,similiar to TU-22 blinder and TU-95 ,her large radar nose provide both air to air and air to sea surveillance.

That's true. What I read is that H-6K is a self funded project by XAC, that's why they don't mind showing it. It doesn't have the high level classification that J-10B or J-11B have.

I wouldn't put that much faith in the latest Pentagon report. Its quality isn't that great, lol. I've written in the past about the inconsistencies that I see in it.

Pakistan has basically handed the control of Kashmir to China according to a recent NY times articles. If it still needs to fly further West (even assuming that added distance from Kashmir is still not enough for CJ-10K). If China escorts it with a couple of J-11s providing escort, which of these stans are going to stop that? But in my opinion, CJ-10Ks range will be enough that it's not needed. If CJ-10K is based on KH-55 that China purchased as speculated, do you think its range will be closer to that of KJ-55's 3000 km or Pentagon's estimates of 1500+ km. Which btw, is based on a test from several years ago. And if you don't think it can fly far enough to hit Guam, that's fine, they can hit Krgystan's base.

Please don't use this as a springboard to China vs USA. Let's stick this to targets H-6K can hit and whether it could be useful in its role.

I will take the responses from Chinese FM as truth then some opinion piece in NYT. :rolleyes:

If the Chinese FM and staff are not credible to your eyes then you have some personal issues with PRC government.

Why is it when my point was clearly to state the use of H-6K, you have to stray to a comment that was simply used to describe it? If you are offended and are inclined to argue about that specific point, please start a separate thread on this in general military section.

China now has another updated weapons platform in its arsenal that can be used for, maritime patrol, maritime attacks, recon, cruise missile launches and general mayhem. It may not be as large as a B-52 but it serves the same general purpose.

Regarding the H-6K bomber it would be better to develop a Chinese domestic version of the D-30 turbofans with WS-10 tech bits added to improve performance, this would help facilitate procurement.
