The combat radius estimation is very modest and too low. Maybe for old H-6 but not for H-6K refitted with turbofan and weight trimming. Estimate ferry range of H-6K is 7600km which translate to at least 2500km combat radius even with half loaded.

Remember H-6K is designed with in mind to strike the second chain island and western pacific area. Its comabt radius cant be that short.

Yep, the blurred out part.

Yep, the blurred out part.

What do you think it is?

Maybe the blurred part is at wrong place.

Just kidding.
