H-6 Bomber Aircraft Discussions

[Deino]

Just a different question regarding the 20th Division:
Scramble lists 6 H-6A being once assigned to the 20th Division, when it was a Bomber Division but I don't know a single image of a 20th Division H-6A.

Does anyone know one?

Is reasonable to expect a dual rack pylon to appear soon on h6j in order for it to carry 12 kd88 or some other cruise missle of similar weight?
Actually i am wondering why there is not already such a thing? Lack of actual value in that configuration?

I don't know if it's putting all eggs in the same basket... two planes flying with more range, carrying six longer range missiles each or one plane with less range with 12 shorter range missiles ?

A recent picture of H6J #9021 showed that its inner pylon adapters were longer than the others, probably for the configuration of 2 YJ-12 and 4 YJ-83 missiles.

Compared with regular H-6K, H-6KG has ECM pods on the additional outermost pylons.
