For H-6 bombers, only the H-6N variant is capable of being refuelled in the air, resulting in a clear range weakness. This pushed the air force to upgrade its missile to mitigate the range problem.” “It’s designed to make up for the shortcomings of other CJ [Changjian] missiles, which are relatively slow, have a shorter range and are less effective in penetrating defence shields,” the source said.
