PLA watchers have had a busy two months, with stealth fighters, new assault ships, and a new Y-20-based KJ3000 AWAC.

With mid air refueling, those punch packing ALBM could reach-out-to-the-second-island-chain and touch someone.
Fear not; judging by several literatures on the H-6N, professionals are paying attention to this important advancement.
