Re: H-6 bomber thread
evereachyu, please edit your post, put your images in somewhere like imageshack instead of just posting the original link. I can't see them right now. And also, add some comments. Your last two posts look like blank to me. If it stays that we, I will have to delete your posts.

the point is a lot of these pictures on Chinese forums don't show up, so that's why you have to put them on something like imageshack. And the pictures you posted are all old photos and can probably be found on this thread.

Re: H-6 bomber thread
Here is an article to backup what challenge was talking about:
Aviation Week, August 11, 2008
".....However, Georgian air defenses appear to be taking a steady toll on Russian aircraft. Russia has admitted to losing a total of four aircraft (the Georgians claim 10) in the conflict. So far they've admitted to the destruction of three Su-25 Frogfoot strike aircraft and a Tu-22M3 Backfire bomber that was flying a reconnaissance mission.
Photos from the combat area show the wreck of the Tu-22 and a Frogfoot as well as a picture of the Backfire pilot in a Georgian hospital. The pilot was Col. Igor Zinov, a 50 year-old Tu-22M3 instructor pilot stationed at the Russian Flight Test Center at Akhtubinsk. (See Aviation Week's defense photo gallery for photos.)
"Ergo, the Russians are using their A-Team, as expected," a U.S. analyst says.
Other analysts say the Georgians are probably operating the SA-11 Buk-M1 (low-to-high altitude) and the (low-to-medium altitude) Tor-1M mobile air defense missile systems.
"The Russians have gone to great lengths to try and implicate the Ukraine in the Russian Air Force losses, even going as far as to suggest that an SA-5 sold to the Georgians by the Ukraine was responsible for the Backfire loss," a second U.S. analyst says. "That's clearly not the case, but shows the Russian attempt to bring the Ukraine into the periphery of this event by implication, and to attempt to explain how one of their premier long-range attack assets could have been shot down so easily....."
Sorry if this was repeated somewhere in the post.
