China has already made rapid advances in military jet aircraft and its H-6 large twin-engine bomber, modelled on the Russian Tu-104, can be converted quite easily into a commercial aircraft.

Carried by H-5 bomber or Q-5 attacker, the Yu-2 was designed to fly using rocket engine in air at high speed before it hits the water at a very close distance to the surface target.

Foreign media generally take H-6K as a medium-range and long-range strategic bomber, which they believe can reach the flying range of 8,000-9,000km when equipped with new engine and avionics system.
