I am sure H-6K can carry more than 6 LACM. Maybe 3 inside the weapon bay, 6 under wing pylon. That will make it 9 missile per trip. Quite impressive.

The "Red Sword-2016", involving various arms of services from the Air Force, such as aviation, ground-to-air missile, radar, electronic countermeasure troops, aimed to beef up the troops' systematic combat capabilities. It is also one of the four key training brands of the PLA Air Force, along with the "Golden Dart", "Golden Helmet" and "Blue Shield". (81.cn/ Yang Jun)

China’s state-run Xinhua news agency has quoted the country’s Air Force Commander Ma Xiaotian as saying that Beijing is developing the next-generation long-range bombers. The report said that the remarks by General Ma confirmed the development of the “legendary H-20” bomber


Admiral Yin noted that China has three specific advantages in developing the H-20 bomber. First, the developers can derive stealth technology from the J-20 and J-31 fighters — two China built stealth fighters. Second, China has already manufactured large transport aircraft such as the Y-20 and C-919, which can yield know-how to build big-sized strategic bombers. Besides, the new generation bombers can be armed with cruise missiles, nuclear and other weapons, which are already available in the Chinese arsenal. As a result of these advantages in materials, design and weaponry, the time lines for developing the H-20 can be shortened, though a typical cycle for making strategic bombers is around 10 years

I hope the Chinese translation from those pages in your book (in English language) will further help the book promotion (a kind of awareness) and its sale, in that sense you should feel flattered due to the vast language gap it should pose no threat, imo. All the best for your works, Deino!

Note: I think if you have a shipping point from within Asia (SIN, MAS, HKG are good candidates) for printed copy, it will help reduce the shipping cost and increase sale likelihood.

EDIT: Wow! A FREE worldwide delivery from UK quite different from Amazon

Thanks guys and if You noticed by that Smiley I'm indeed more flattered since imitation is the best form of flattery - and they copied it word for word. Even more - and especially since some here still don't think a foreigner can or even has the right to write anything on that topic, it seems as if that magazine accepted me as an authority on the topic.

Oh that would be brilliant !

Thanks for that. However my biggest concern (like Tom Cooper noted at ACIG) is that in a few months a certain US think tank or any other "specialist" like Dave Majumdar, David Ave or any other of the usual suspects finds this "Chinese copy" and uses it for an own publication based on his/her 'exclusive, first-hand, genuine Chinese source of reference with information of unprecedented quality' - without ever having even a trace of clue about the origin of all that info ... and a few months later it appears at RAND, Jamestown.org or whatever and that cannot even be described as 'frustrating' since my publications remain entirely unknown in these interesting circles in the USA as all their reference lists always show.

Anyway, maybe someday ...

well, you can always introduce yourself to Chinese defense forums (I mean the proper ones), find a guy knows Chinese, and to help you to post few of your original works and researches thats been 'un-lawfully quoted' by others, on those forums, then people will start getting to know you. As a member of CJDBY, I will always recommend it

I stopped browsing any English China defense forums few years ago, as they dont have much substances, too many clueless fans or annoying trolls who have no knowledge of the field.
