At present, China is constantly improving and upgrading the H-6 series bombers, including adding pylons under the wing for the H-6, the H-6K bomber has become 8 pylons after adding pylons, and the outermost two pylons will not complete the carrying of any missiles, normally, these two pylons are only used for the carrying of the pod, and these pods can also ensure that the H-6K bomber can better complete a large number of tasks. Although the continuous improvement and upgrading of the H-6 bomber has made the H-6 bomber and the Tu-16 bomber have a significant performance gap, but the H-6 bomber is also difficult to meet the operational needs of the PLA in the future, so a new generation of bombers is also particularly necessary, according to media reports, the H-20 bomber is in a state of imminent appearance.
It is widely analyzed that China's H-20 bomber will adopt the same flying wing layout as the B-2A stealth bomber and B-21 stealth bomber of the United States, and has the ability to penetrate the defense by stealth, while only the United States has a stealth bomber in the world, and the H-20 bomber is about to come out, which will also mean that the combat capability of the PLA's long-range aviation will be improved again, and at the same time, it will be more deterrent to opponents such as the United States. When China's target in the field of bombers is locked in a new generation of long-range bombers with stealth capabilities, India has also come up with the confidence to confront, according to media disclosures, India recently disclosed a new type of UAV called FWD-200B, the shape of this UAV is very peculiar, the model of the UAV is like a fat-headed fish, according to the Indian side, this is developed by the Indian shuttle defense and aerospace company, the first unmanned bomber designed and produced by India, this UAV is altitude, Long-endurance UAVs, capable of carrying 100 kg of load, and the maximum flight time has reached 20 hours.
In fact, if you take a closer look at India's drones, you will find that many of the functions of Indian drones are completely problematic, because the endurance reaches 20 hours, but the control range of the ground station is only 200 kilometers, which also means that it is impossible for this drone to fly out of 200 kilometers away for a series of operations. Judging from the cost of this drone, the Indian side pointed out that the production cost of this unmanned bomber is only 30 million US dollars, although it is far lower than the American MQ-9 Reaper drone, but the cost of such a drone is comparable to a fourth-generation fighter, you must know that the production cost of the J-10CE fighter equipped by India's neighbor Pakistan is only about 40 million US dollars.
Today's India has always wanted to compete with China and Pakistan in the field of defense, but does India really have the strength? Nowadays, India can't even do the low cost of UAVs, and from the perspective of the appearance of UAVs, this UAV is very backward in terms of performance indicators, this strange UAV may have very limited combat capabilities, if India wants to use a 100 kg load UAV as a bomber to call the board, the War Research Institute believes that India is better to hurry up and save it, after all, an anti-aircraft missile of the PLA can accurately destroy this UAV directly, for the UAV that strikes India, the PLA is afraid that it is not a war of attrition at all, but a war of attrition for India。
When India continues to seek overseas weapons and equipment purchases, India should also try its best to demonstrate the ability of domestic manufacturing, but in the production and manufacturing of many advanced weapons and equipment, India seems to be ambitious, in addition to the limited performance of UAVs, India's LCA fighter is also a disappointing fighter.
