Tu-20 vs Tu-95

[edit]

Folks, AFAIK, Tu-20 name was planned, but never used for the aircraft. A.N.T. have made the officials to use his internal index "95" (within ANT-xxx series) in order to reduce the paperwork along with "serial" prefix "Tu-" forming "Tu-95", a bomber with fighter's number. --jno 09:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Er...shouldn't that be in the Tupolev Tu-95 article, not here? - Aerobird 22:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added additional H-6 variants & info. The first H-6/Tu-16 assembled at HAMC were done with Soviet-supplied kits, just like the J-11 (Su-27). Adeptitus 17:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

H-6K

[edit]

Jane's is quoting the H-6K as an unofficial designation of possible new variant but is light on details. Dbromage

Chinese H-6 bomber

Chinese H-6 bomber carries 'improved missiles'

By David C Isby

Upgraded anti-ship missiles can be used by modified versions of Chinese H-6 'Badger' bombers, according to unconfirmed reports. China is believed to have reinstated low-rate production of the aircraft - a copy of the Soviet-era Tupolev Tu-16 - in early 2006.

The major improvements include the ability to carry four large missiles on underwing hardpoints rather than two, as with previous versions. The unconfirmed designations H-6K and H-6M have been used to describe versions with an enhanced missile armament capability.

Potential missile loads for this aircraft could include the extended-range YJ-83 (CSSC-8 'Saccade') and an air-launched version of the YJ-62 (C-602).

No operational history?

[edit]

I noticed this aircraft has no section of it's operational history. Would it hurt to add some summary info? 116.14.16.112 (talk) 11:27, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
