Could you downsize your photos a bit? If an image is larger than 3000-3500 pixels in width, please downsize it before posting and leave a link to the full-size version. Otherwise, it severely degrades page rendering, especially for those who use a mobile device to browse the forum.

That is such an obvious and sloppy photoshop, you can see the white background from where they cropped that H6 photo from original.

That only makes it a poorly done "artist's impression" of an actual event rather than a fictitious event, it is not a genuine photo. On SDF it is important for a poster to point this out if they already realize it, otherwise others will find it necessary to point out lest there is confusion whether it is a genuine photo.

Not flying that close!

I am curious if the H6K carries missiles during these trips, and if so, did they carry AA missiles at all? Or how can they defend themselves?

No operational bomber carries AAMs. It would simply be a waste of the missiles.

Bombers rely on the range of their missiles and fighter support to stay alive.

In a conflict scenario, no bomber would fly without fighter escort in or even near enemy territory.
