PLAAF & PLANAF H-6 Long Range Bomber thread

[ozranger]

someone please explain how you launch one of those things (ALBM), does the plane have to be at the right angle to make it go into space?

Or does it turn on the rocket and just continue a gliding trajectory?

Could this be a scramjet missile?

Most likely the rocket will be dropped until there is a safe distance apart. Then the rocket will ignite, turn by thrust vector control and climb up.

There seems to be no need to employ a scramjet for this kind of weapon.

Ohh ... that is indeed a mayor surprise, since the yellow number is clearly a PLAAF hint!

Maybe the production of H-6K has stopped???

I think that was pretty clear since the latest H-6N and J bombers are from a different production block, but maybe the K models were upgraded to H-6J?
