There are also hints that the naval JH-7As still keep their red 82xxx and 83xxx numbers intact.

Maybe PLAAF just hasn't got around to repainting them yet?
36 bombs in total? that't quite decent. based on some available training footage it appears PLA has plans to use H-6 to clear beach head ahead of landing operations. one bomb run is probably enough to clear half a kilometer of beach.

The 9th Joint Sino-Russia Strategic Aerial Patrol, with the H-6Ns making first appearance in the mission.

Interesting, not only for the first time H-6N bombers participated a joint Sino-Russia Strategic Aerial Patrol exercise but also number 55334 - if I read it correctly - is the overall highest number seen so far.
@huitong … maybe you could also update your Blog with the 4th AB‘s first confirmed J-20, the YY-20 (not a Y-20) with 21040 number and this one?!

I never followed h-6 production figures, so can you give some rought estimate of active modern variants of h-6 in service?
i haven't kept in touch here. Are they still produce H-6K at this point or has H-6N production taken over? It seems like if H-6N can both carry the single large BM on the belly or 2 KD-21s + get refueled, then you'd want to be producing more H-6N.
