Long reach ... A view of Chinas new strategic bomber, the H-6K. Source: PLA
Funny, that “new” bomber looks strangely like a 1950s vintage Russian Tu-16 Badger.
Bill Clinton and his buddies at Loral gave the Chicoms the ability to lob their nuclear bomb tipped missiles anywhere on planet earth or the moon.
The airbase is of minor import except as political fodder
Maybe Australia would like to buy a few used bombers from us.Its unfortunate for them that they decided to get rid of their F-111 Aardvarks.
Their Aardvarks with tanker support would put that Chinese base in danger as well.
