Chinese President Xi Jinping visited a PLA Air Force (PLAAF) bomber unit which operates three variants of the H-6 bomber on February 17, 2015, which attracted the attention of Western experts. The H-6K bombers, which use a "glass" cockpit with five or more multi-function displays and use ejection seats for all three to four crew members, are currently in service with at least two PLAAF bomber regiments. The H-6K strategic bomber of the PLAAF equipped with KD-20 cruise missiles is capable of attacking all US military facilities from Northeast Asia to Guam, according to an expert in Chinese military development cited in the state-run Global Times on February 17, 2015
