The Xian H-6 is a Chinese twin-engine bomber family derived from the Soviet Tu-16. Later H-6K aircraft introduced revised engines and avionics for stand-off missile carriage, while other marks serve specialised roles.
Disputed range, payload, dimensions and crew figures remain unstated. No CJ-10 link is added: the ground-launched catalog record is not established here as the air-launched H-6K weapon variant.
