This is an engine upgrade.

By the what kind of Missiles and bombs it would carry and would it need a interceptor or a fighter jet for its safety

 

[scobydoo]

Is it upgraded version of Tu-16?

Probably guided bombs and cruise missiles like CJ-10 or YJ-62.
And yes, it does need an escort fighter.

Is it upgraded version of Tu-16?

Yes.
Unlike the Russians, the Chinese continue to modernise, examples are J-11B (based on old Su-27), J-7E (based on older MiG-21) and J-15 (based on Su-33)

Horrible in terms of stealthiness.

Common sense: J-15 is not based on Su-33 but T-10K. China bought T-10K from Ukraine

It was never meant to be stealthy in the first place. This is decades old design.

6 CJ-10/CJ-20 cruise missiles or a similar number of YJ-12s、YJ-18s or YJ-22s。

YJ-62 and YJ-92 etc are carried，among others，on JH--7As。

JH-7B also carries YJ-18s。

So is the B52, even made 50 years ago, but still efficient

Exactly, hence why I said it was not meant for stealth in the first place. It was decades old design.
