official from PLAAF, praising the regiment that Xi visited in 2015. From the tone and photos, pretty sure they have full H6K now.
56th H-6K # 11290
Each Rgt have 18 three full and one have at less 4 so about 60 in service.
The last do transition from H-6M
The 2 others use H-6M.
6 H-6 Rgts
Mentionned in article 108 Rgt/36 Div to Wugong ? the 4th equiped with H-6K 4 birds appear in january.
OK but too big difference with production number, cuz in this case 75 in service about, 4 x 18 + some for tests and we have 56 + some... for me on the pic one other Rgt.Mentioned in article "central theatre" and Wugong is in that theater. Plus also mentioned that's the regiment Xi visited in 2015. The regiment just started equipping H6K at the time.
well,maybe they just disclosed this regiment so we don't have sn yet. The news I posted mentioned Xi visited the regiment in 2015. And here is the video for 2015 visitOK but too big difference with production number, cuz in this case 75 in service about, 4 x 18 + some for tests and we have 56 + some... for me on the pic one other Rgt.
Finaly taking a look on GE very recent vieww 03/2017 and much birds with old retired to the left/Westwell,maybe they just disclosed this regiment so we don't have sn yet. The news I posted mentioned Xi visited the regiment in 2015. And here is the video for 2015 visit
So the regiment equipped H6K in two years.
