China is testing a promising media hypersonic weapon

Strategic bombers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force flew from the center of China to an unspecified location for an exercise. This publication reports Global Times.

H-6K is a strategic bomber, its purpose is to strike at key points deep in enemy territories. According to the publication's experts, this aircraft can be armed with hypersonic missiles.

According to analysts (their opinion is quoted by the publication) combined with J-20 stealth fighters, H-6K can make a preventive breakthrough of the enemy's echeloned defense.

In war, our main goal – strike at distant and vital enemy positions, paralyzing him.
– said in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV) H-6K pilot Li Ping.

Although the H-6K does not belong to the class of stealth aircraft (Besides, it is subsonic), "strategist" has a wide range of modern weapons, including cruise missiles, which allows him to strike at long distances.

H-6K can, staying in the safe zone, launch rockets and retreat. Potentially, given the level of development of modern hypersonic, aircraft can hit targets on 3000 km deep into enemy territory.
– notes Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine.

Assuming, that each H-6K can carry six missiles, 12 bombers can attack up to 72 vital military nodes, he said. CCTV also reported, that, in parallel with the departure of strategic bombers, full-scale combat exercises are being carried out by low-observable fighters of the new generation J-20.

China's strategy involves, that J-20s will act as H-6K escorts: stealth aircraft will serve as breakthrough fighters. They must destroy AWACS aircraft and tankers, while the task of strategic bombers – ground strikes, this, as command centers and positions of missiles and air defense crews.

Global Times claims, what in 2018 the amount of ammunition, expended H-6K on exercises, increased several times compared to previous years.
