so what is the main diff than H-6K ?
Especially ability to carry the YJ-12 AShM and additional outer wing-pylons for KG600/800 ECM-pods.

It was rumored that PLAN is also interested in H-6K (H-6KH?) armed with 6 YJ-12 AShMs to replace its own H-6G fleet but this has not been confirmed. A recent satellite image (May 2015) indicated that one H-6K (H-6KH?) was carrying additional ECM pods (KG600/800?) underneath the outer wings. The latest rumor (February 2017) suggested that an AShBM carrier is being developed based on H-6K and is equipped with a nose-mounted inflight refueling probe similar to Russian Tu-95MS. The large missile is carried externally underneath the fuselage and might be a DF-21D AShBM variant.

A H-6G Rgt yet equiped with YJ-12 ?Huitong's post to this latest version:
A H-6G Rgt yet equiped with YJ-12 ?
For me yesTo admit I don't know for sure, but we have reports about this missile since years and also since some time the G-models are routinely flying with these dedicated long launch-adapters specificly related to the YJ-12. So even if we haven't seen an operational G flying with this monster I think it's save to assume it's operational already.

since 2013...Recent images (September 2013) suggested that some s have been modified to carry the new supersonic long range anti-ship cruise missile (up to 2) under a stretched pylon.
The one with missile under their wings what kind of missiles are they?
