The combination of the H-6G and the "Eagle Strike-12" represents a qualitative leap in the navy's ability to strike at sea. It has the ability to strike against cruisers, destroyers and other high-value warships at sea, but judging from the number of naval equipment The size of the H-6G missile carrier equipped by the Navy, for aircraft carrier battle groups with cruisers, destroyers, and other escorts, may not be able to reach saturation attacks. Therefore, bombers with more pylons and bombs The -6J was born under this background to strengthen the firepower density and intensity of naval aviation strikes.

In fact, the naval type H-6J is developed on the basis of the air force type H-6K. The navy and air force "one aircraft, two types" research and development model is very beneficial for reducing development costs and simplifying the difficulty of logistics support. .

Five years after the Air Force was equipped with 10-15 H-6K bombers every year, the naval-type H-6J officially began to equip our naval aviation forces. It was the first to be equipped in the southern theater, indicating that the Navy attaches great importance to this strategic direction.


Compared with the air force type H-6K, the naval type H-6J is exactly the same in its body structure, in-flight avionics, engine system, etc., but it has enhanced sea detection capabilities and is comparable to air-launched anti-ship missiles and ground Attack cruise missiles have better compatibility and matching.

In addition, the H-6J is also equipped with some communication and navigation systems suitable for flying at sea, as well as a weapon management and control system, adding special marine life-saving equipment, and increasing the safety of flying at sea.

In addition, the electronic warfare capabilities have also been strengthened. Based on the H-6K integrated electronic early warning and countermeasures and jamming system, the H-6J has added 2 special pylons on the outermost side of the wing, and used 2 new high-power electronic devices. The jamming pod strengthens the deception and jamming capabilities, making the opponent's shipborne air defense system unable to obtain timely and accurate information about the H-6J's target navigation, so that it is difficult to implement fast and accurate fire interception.


Due to the replacement of new engines, including the increase in fuel quantity, the maximum range of the H-6J has reached about 8,500 kilometers, and the combat radius will not be less than 3,500 kilometers, basically touching the edge of the threshold of a strategic bomber.

The redesigned wing of the H-6J has increased the number of external wing points to 6, including 4 pylons on the inner side, with a maximum external hanging capacity of 3 tons, two external pylons not less than 2 tons, and the maximum external hanging capacity of the H-6J Reaching 15-16 tons, it is the missile carrier with the most powerful external capability among all navy bombers.

When performing long-range strike missions, the H-6J can mount 4 "Eagle Strike-63" anti-ship missiles or 6 "Long Sword-20" land attack cruise missiles at a time; it can also carry conventional ammunition and bombs. Air bombs weighing 6-8 tons can be hung in the cabin.


In addition, when carrying 12 250 kg aerial bombs in the bomb bay, the H-6J can still use composite pylons, and 36 250 kg aerial bombs are mounted on the 6 pylons of the wings, which is an aerial "bomb truck". The ability to carry out carpet bombing on ground targets is an ability that other types of bombers do not have.

H-6J, 4 "Eagle Strike-12" supersonic anti-ship missiles can still be mounted on the inner pylon, 2 outer pylons can use composite pylons, and 4 "Eagle Strike-83K" anti-ship missiles can be mounted externally. An attack formation of the H-6J flight regiment can throw 96 supersonic "Eagle Strike-12" anti-ship missiles and 96 high-pressure sonic "Eagle Strike-83K" anti-ship missiles to the target group at one time, and attack the sea. The ability is very powerful.


In the future, it is not ruled out that the H-6J is equipped with supersonic anti-ship missiles with a range of 500-1000 kilometers, making the H-6J capable of launching anti-ship missiles outside the combat radius of the carrier aircraft. This attack will also be very lethal to the aircraft carrier combat group. , The interception of the anti-shipborne defense system will also become very difficult.

Due to the comprehensive update of the airborne radar and avionics system, the H-6J has a high level of information technology and is equipped with passive phased array radars. It is also said that a brand new multifunctional pulse Doppler radar has been installed. Therefore, it has It has the characteristics of high transmitting power, fast scanning speed, strong anti-interference ability, and high reliability. The detection range of large ground targets is more than 200 kilometers, and the detection range of large and medium-sized marine targets can reach 400 kilometers. It can calmly guide various medium and long distances. The air-to-ground (ship) missiles and precision-guided bombs attack the target outside the defense zone.

With the improvement of modernization, the crew of the H-6J has been reduced from 6 to 3 in the original H-6 series of bombers. They are the pilot and the co-pilot, and the main weapon management on the right side of the rear cabin is responsible for the implementation of ground control. (Ship) Weapon Controller of Strike.


Since the southern theater navy equipped the H-6J, in the second half of 2019, it has taken on the mission of patrol in the open sea. Judging from the military video reports of CCTV and the pictures and texts in the ship magazine, the H-6J is all with live ammunition. The implementation of patrols means that the navy in the southern theater of the country has significantly improved its ability to control waters far away from the homeland. In key high-threat waters, the existence of a fully loaded 24 H-6J flying regiment will be in the waters of the motherland. A powerful protector, under the escort of the Navy's Su series heavy fighters, the H-6J has the ability to protect our waters from foreign invasion.

Under the premise that a certain type of stealth bomber has not appeared, the powerful H-6J bomber will be the most powerful missile carrier of our naval aviation. It will still be equipped with 6 anti-ship missiles or land attack cruise missiles. A combat radius of 2500 kilometers; when the number of missiles is reduced to 4, the combat radius can be increased to more than 3000 kilometers, which will play a powerful role in ground (ship) strikes that other aviation equipment cannot replace.
