What would be the viability of using data linked legacy bomber aircraft in a long range air to air capacity.

Something like an H9 or B52 can carry extremely long range air to air missiles (500km +) and get their cuing and tracking from closer in low observability sensor drones.

It is feasible, and the "A plane shoot a long range missile, B (aircraft, drone, satellite or a ship) guide it to target, and the missile activate it's own seeker head at terminal range" is already a reality .

Is anyone pursuing a program like this?

Does anyone know about the corps level PLAAF bases? Not the ones where air brigades are located, but there seems to be organizational bases managing joint trainings and developing new exercise system.

Also, do the leaders of the bases report into the Theater Joint Operation Command Center or other structural level? Just if anyone know how the bases are organized internally between TC level and brigade level, e.g. If Kunming base has a HQ somewhere.
