Re: H-6 bomber thread
well, I hope they are going to starting producing it soon, since it's already an obsolete platform. Should fill in the gap nicely until more capable bombers join service.

Re: H-6 bomber thread
since Russia refuse to provide backfire bomber, the only alternative was to prolong the life of H-6 bomber.

Re: H-6 bomber thread
the Russians did provide backfire, but they were only willing to sell export versions and in used airframes.

Re: H-6 bomber thread
This is kind of an aside but why do many (if not all) of the H-6s still have that long antenna running from the plane's midsection all the way along the tail? Couldn't they simply take that out and replace it with something newer? I don't know a whole lot about this kind of stuff but the antenna makes the H-6 look even more antiquated.

Re: H-6 bomber thread
I have to agree that this plane looks like it was built with a serious amount of composite. This is only a Badger by the way it looks, and everything else underneath is not. The enlarged intakes suggest turbofans and the composite means weight reduction along with some radar reduction.
