The Xian H-6 bomber is obviously based on the ancient Tu-16 Badger but this latest H-6K is a heavily redesigned version capable of carrying air-launched cruise missiles. From the PLAAF's 8th Bomber Division/24th Air Regiment at Leiyang. This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
