The space freed up by the deletion of the bomb-bay in the H-6N has almost certainly been used for fuel-tanks.

Agreed, but „only“ almost certainly … confirmed so far it is not.

True but we'll know for sure if and when the PLA publishes an article or allows an article to be published about the H-6N including a cutaway diagram of it.

I never realize that the H-6 is such a huge aircraft. The PLA seems to have done a great deal of work to upgrade and keep the old TU-16 design current and up-to-date.

Cannot imagine what would a Backfire be like if it is in service with the PLA .....
