So how many H6 bombers does China operate? How many for Plaaf and how many for Planaf?

Well, that is an easy one. Bomber regiments have at least 15 H-6 (a few PLAAF regiments have one or two more). With six PLAAF and three PLANAF regiments, that makes 135, or perhaps rather 140 all told.

I should add that this total includes tankers, 7 H-6U with 8 Bmr Div 144 Regt Leiyang, and 2 H-6DU each with Naval 2 and 8 Regts.
Great CGI.
I swear this plane could be a great loitering bomber. Instead of a CJ-10K on each pylon, put a triple rack of LT-3s or even more small diameter LS-6s, along with the internal weapons bay for additional weapons. H-6K already has its FLIR and should have provision for additional avionics (most modern aircraft are designed to be modular to be some degree). Though I suppose given the opfor PLA currently faces, cruise missile carrying is probably a more likely and important duty.

Like somebody say CJ-10K is the land based cruise missile. The missile carried by H-6K should be the HN variant.
Only when PLAAF has a air-superiority against a oponent that we could see H-6k carrying LT-3 or SDB. i think for now its primary
role is to launch long range cruise missile from china airspace protected by PLAAF assets

CJ-10 is the land based cruise missile CJ-10K is the air launched variant. Just like how YJ-83 is the land/sea based anti ship missile and the YJ-83K is the air launched version...
K stands for kong (air, as in air launched I believe)

Very strange. Hmmvv say that
DH-10 : shipborne version
HN serie : Air Launch
CJ-10k: Land based
( ¯\(°_o)/¯ )
Well you already know my take on it lol... But personally I think it makes no sense for the air launched version of DH/CJ-10 to be called HN-3 rather than HN-10. So I thought the HN series of missiles either never went anywhere, was cancelled or even lost to the DH/CJ series, with CJ-10K being the air launched version, correlating with the K version of YJ-83 being air launched too.
