Air China adopted a new heavy bomber Xian H-6K, says Strategy Page . The new aircraft - an upgraded version of the H-6 bombers, which in turn is a copy of the Soviet Tu-16. Improved H-6K has received new engines, some design elements, new aircraft systems and radar.

In particular, at H-6K instead of Chinese engines Zian WP8, able to develop traction in 93.2 Kilonewton each, set by Russian D-30KP2 with a thrust of about 118 Kilonewton each. Thanks to this increase the range of aircraft flight. Engine air intakes slightly increased compared to previous versions of H-6. In addition, the fuselage of the bomber more widely used composite materials.

H-6K has lost 23-millimeter cannon in the bow, instead of which the airline is now installed equipment of electronic warfare. The bomber is capable of carrying up to six cruise missiles CJ-10A with a range of up to two thousand kilometers. These missiles are likely to be a copy of the Soviet Kh-55, capable of addition to conventional warheads, to carry, and nuclear. H-6K is able to bear arms weighing up to 12 tons.

Currently in service with China worth about 120 H-6 bombers different versions. Airplanes capable of speeds up to 1050 kilometers per hour and fly at a distance of up to six thousand miles. Combat radius bombers early versions of about 1.8 thousand kilometers, and at H-6K, presumably, about three thousand kilometers.

Another copy of another plane.

Another copy of another plane.

yes.... I'm sure it has wings and wheels like other planes

H-6K includes....

Composite materials, enlarged engine inlets for Russian NPO Saturn D-30KP-2 turbofan engines giving a claimed range of 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi), a glass cockpit with large size LCD multi-function display, and a reworked nose section eliminating the glazed navigator's station in favour of a more powerful radar, the H-6K is a significantly more modern aircraft than earlier versions. The bomb bay has been replaced by extra fuel capacity, and six underwing pylons for CJ-10A cruise missiles are fitted. Rear 23mm guns and gunner position are replaced by electronic components.
In January 2009, it was reported that an indigenous turbofan engine, the WS-18, was under development for use in the H-6K.

@G777 Bro copy or not they get what they want that's their only aim,

^^^ copy or not they get what they want that's their only aim,
LOW ON QUALITY & PERFORMANCE THOUGH

H-6K is low tech?
How'd you figure?

Enlighten us oh wise one!

This is Tuplove TU-16 aded with missile, nothing more than that.

Development of the H-6K is the background, to change the old H-6, short legs, playing less, look at the problem far, emergency operations needed to meet Taiwan, eastern island to meet the target against the urgent need, the urgent need for major changes in H - 6 , making our military cruise missile carrier aircraft, the enemy target to meet the needs of indirect long-range combat. The best mountain base in eastern Taiwan facing the Pacific Ocean, with his back to the mainland, and there is a very solid rocks to protect, to ensure an accurate hit if the lack of precision strike weapons cave door, it will be difficult to effectively combat them.

At the same time to speed up the development progress of the H-6 of the main load-bearing structure make no major changes, only for the renewal of the inlet, the end re-spray to do the design and modification focused on the main wing and tail to make the appropriate adjustments aerodynamic match to meet the engine into the gas increases, the thrust increased after the aircraft impact.

Meanwhile, according to recent rapid development of China's aviation electronics, using the latest electronic equipment has completely replaced the old H-6 electronic devices, while using a fly-by, stealth coatings currently more mature technology for the transformation of H-6 . It should be said, the successful development of the H-6K, is nearly 10 years, China's aviation industry an overall review of comprehensive integration capabilities, embodies China's aviation electronics, materials technology, the latest achievements of other aviation products, upgrading the old offer a new way of thinking.

1, can be linked to six KD88 cruise missiles, all to the fuel tank internal magazine; also known as the carry weight of up to several tons of earth penetrator, the internal magazine can carry large removable fuel tank, which can be penetrating bombs and tank choose between;
2, D30 engine thrust increased 30%, 20% reduction in fuel consumption, together with all the changes within the magazine tank, range than the original H-6 increased by 30%, or routine tasks in a combat radius of one thousand meters under 3X00-4X00 , eastern Taiwan to meet the goals against Air Force requirements.
3, through the installation of new radar and fire control radar, the abolition of the nose compartment and submandibular transparent radar navigator, navigator cabin converted to the original radar equipment cabin. Installation of forward-looking infrared detection device.
4, the installation of GPS + Compass satellite navigation system.
5, all the abolition of all gun turret, the rear cabin to cancel radio operator, through the installation of new active-passive high-power electronic jamming equipment to ensure safe penetration.
6, containing members of the four people, arranged in the head, 2 rows, each row of 2, respectively, for driving, co-pilot, electronic warfare / communications officer and navigator / bomb officer, all before the ride, install a separate ejection seat .
7, reconstruction of avionics systems, large-screen LCD glass cockpit, optimized ergonomics, operation greatly simplified.

Oh really?
the H-6K with CJ-10, a new more powerful radar, LCD-MFD, an on-board ECM/EW system, GPS, high capacity datalink, composites and glass cockpit is nothing more then a 60 year old Tu-16?

H-6K is a strategic bomber you can't compare it to old and outdated Tu-16

sometime truth is bitter and hard to digest, but remains truth.

your truth and my truth are two different worlds.

going by your logic.....
F-16 IN is no more then an old F-16A prototype with a different name.

Ok please elaborate your truth mate :-)
Dont just use what armaments HK6 have....explain the utility and how they can make a difference out of that.
That will be a learning for me and i too will be able to counter you.

[ReactiveArmour]

FYI, getting missiles on board is the most significant move to redefine lethality of a bomber as TU 16

f-16 has been improved to IN by america. the tu-16 has been upgraded by china--a third world country. there is difference between the two .

Thank You Jungibaaz the lack of Chinese in IDF is Leveled by ur Presence here...

@Topic I dont know weather its a Copy or not, well but China has Achieved something significance Which India has yet not...so as a Indian i have respect for China...

un true.
the H-6 had a gps system and communications system as the main part for it's avionics package.
that makes it sort of a dumb bomber.

Now it has a more powerful radar, LCD-MFDs, glass cockpit, on-borad ECM/EW suite, a good datalink.
Making it a strategic bomber.

the cruise missile is a plus in terms of weaponry, nothing more
