H-6 Bomber Aircraft Discussions
- Thread starter F40Racer
- Start date
Does anybody know when the H-6 deleted the tail turret like the one found on the Tu-16?

At least as far as 5th January 2007, when H6K took its maiden flight. Not sure if there is any other version without tail gun turret prior to H6K.
Two H-6Ns flying together. Posted by the official Weibo account of AVIC.
There are older pre-2000s variants without the turret such as the H-6H missile carrier, but that one had some sensors above and below the gunner station instead of the more modern H-6K,J,N APU.
Btw, does anyone know where the APU intake is mounted on the H-6K,J,N variants?
Hi,
Do these bombers been given radar upgrade like a AESA, or they already operating those
radars Any information on it.
thank you
Funny ... you beat me by a few minutes! I just found this:
Impressive! If I'm not mistaken it is the first time we see it with 6 KD-20 in the air?
