arent ALL planaf land based fighter/bomber units are being transferred to plaaf?
H-6 Bomber Aircraft Discussions
- Thread starter F40Racer
- Start date
That's the question ... I know there have been reports, the PLAN NA is going "all carrier capable", but what about the EW/AEW and ASW assets? Can*t think they will be integrated into the PLAAF.
that is what i understand, special missions are staying, others are moving
Maybe the 10th BD / 29th AR is replacing its H-6H with H-6K?
Good, the remaining H-6H/M regiments should be replaced with H-6K as soon as possible. Just standardizing maintenance and reducing fleet type would be very beneficial here. Let along the capability jump
H-6K's under the Southern Theatre Command
I wonder is it possible to upgrade older H-6 variant close to H-6K level. Put new radar and sensors on it. Replace avionics with today's compartment. It shouldn't be to hard. The only problem is if older variants can be upgrade with fly by wire.
No
the key is those two d30 engines. the air inlet was redesigned to cope with them.
speaking of which, yankeesama implied there will be an engine upgrade for K/J/N
Just giving the younger to North Korea could be an interesting move if they have a lot of hours left in them.
