H-6K bombers with larger engine inlet

</article>
</div>
<br />
<br />
PLA-AF recently received 15 H-6K
 bombers with nuclear capabilities, according to British military digest
 Jane’s Defence Weekly.<br />
<br />
The H-6K, an updated version of the H-6 bomber, is a medium-sized craft 
designed for long-range attacks, stand-off attacks and large-area air 
patrol.<br />
Unlike its predecessor, the H-6K can carry cruise missiles under
 its wings.<br />
The H6-K also maneuvers more deftly than the H-6 and 
requires a smaller crew to operate.<br />
Jane’s Defence was the first media 
outlet to confirm that the H6-K had formally entered active service.<br />
<br />
The most visible departure from the H-6 is the H6-K’s nose, where a nose
 randome has replaced a navigation cabin. Military expert Fu Qianshao 
said that the H6-K’s nose should greatly improve avionics, search and 
detection, navigation, fire control and weapon precision.<br />
<br />
Fu said that the H-6K has a larger engine inlet than does the H-6, which
 may mean that the newer bomber’s engines have greater thrust. If so, 
the H-6K would also have a greater maximum takeoff weight and payload 
than the H-6.<br />
A more favorable weight-to-thrust ratio would improve fuel
 efficiency and lengthen cruising range, Fu said.<br />
<br />
H-6K reportedly has a combat radius of 3,500 KM. The nuclear-capable 
Changjian (long sword)-10 cruise missiles it carries have a range of 
1,500-2,000 KM, effectively extending the bomber’s combat range to 
4,000-5,000 KM - long enough to reach Okinawa, Guam and even Hawaii from
 China’s mainland.<br />
<br />
Analysts stipulated that PLA Air Force missiles be able to reach Taiwan,
 southwestern Japan and Guam, a range of control that requires a 
3,000-KM combat radius and powerful attack capability. Only the combined
 combat radius of the H6-K and Changjian-10 currently satisfy the length 
requirement.<br />

H-6K uses a 
'glass' cockpit with five or more multifunction displays (MFDs)<br /><br />
<br />
On 17 February a visit by Chinese Communist Party and People's 
Liberation Army (PLA) leader Xi Jinping to a bomber unit of the PLA Air 
Force (PLAAF) revealed new details of its latest Xian Aircraft 
Corporation (XAC) H-6K bomber.<br />
<br />
As did his predecessors, Xi makes frequent visits to PLA units that are 
well covered by the Chinese media to stress the Party's control over the
 PLA. This visit occurred on the eve of the official Chinese New Year.<br />
<br />
Xi visited a bomber unit outside the city of Xi'an operating three 
variants of the H-6 that have been in production since the late 1990s. 
They included the H-6H, which entered service in the late 1990s and is 
armed with two optically guided YJ-63/KD-63 land-attack cruise missiles 
(LACMs).<br />
<br />
Also seen was the H-6M, which entered service in 2007 equipped with four
 wing pylons plus new electronic warfare and missile approach warning 
systems. The H-6M is armed with two KD-20/K-AKD-20 1,500-2,500 km range 
LACMs.<br />
<br />
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://www.janes.com/images/assets/127/49127/p1631176.jpg" height="368" src="http://www.janes.com/images/assets/127/49127/p1631176.jpg" width="640" />The H-6K now serves in at least two PLAAF bomber regiments. (Chinese internet)<br />
<br />
Most noteworthy, however, was Chinese media coverage of Xi's cockpit 
tour, which for the first time provided a wide view of the cockpit of 
the most recent H-6K variant. This confirmed that the H-6K uses a 
'glass' cockpit with five or more multifunction displays (MFDs) and is 
the first H-6 to use ejection seats for its three or four crew members.<br />
<br />
Making Xi's visit easier was the H-6K's first use of a stair-accessible side-entry door.<br />
<br />
Emerging in prototype form in 2007, the H-6K is the most radically 
modified variant, replacing its glass nose with a large solid nose 
housing a large radar and new electro-optical targeting pod. Its use of 
two Russian-made 12-ton thrust D-30-KP2 turbofans and lighter-weight 
composites have reportedly extended its range by 30% to a combat radius 
of 3,500 km.<br />
<br />
The H-6K carries six KD-20 LACMs on wing pylons plus one or more in its 
bomb bay. It can also carry a wide range of new precision-guided 
munitions available from four Chinese weapon manufacturers.<br />
<br />
