Primul bombardier strategic, in adevaratul sens al expresiei, al Chinei a participat, pentru prima data, la exercitii de razboi.
Cea mai noua varianta a veteranului Xian H-6, H-6K, supranumit „zeul razboiului”, a fost surprins in plina evolutie la exercitiul Mission Action 2013, faza B. Este pentru prima data cand aparatul este implicat in acest gen de exercitii alaturi de intreg grupul de forte.
H-6K este cea mai noua si, probabil, ultima versiune a lui H-6, versiunea chinezeasca a lui Tupolev Tu-16.
Specialistii spun ca H-6K este primul bombardier strategic al Chinei, in adevarul sens al expresiei. Varianta K a primit o noua structura de rezistenta, motoare noi turbopropulsoare, o sectiune frontala redesenata si un cockpit „de sticla”, prin inlocuirea afisajelor analogice cu ecrane LCD.
De asemenea, H-6K a primit echipamente electronice de noua generatie iar raza de actiune a bombardierului este de aproximativ 3.500 de kilometri.
Primul zbor a avut loc in 2007, doi ani mai tarziu avionul intrand in serviciul Fortelor Aeriene.
