Video | Seamless Coordination Between Sea and Air! Unveiling the Collaborative Code Between H-6K and Carrier-Based Aircraft

Recently, the People's Liberation Army Navy organized the Liaoning aircraft carrier group to conduct training in relevant waters of the Western Pacific. H-6K pilots stated that they have coordinated many coded messages with the pilots of the Liaoning.

What do the coded messages between H-6K and carrier-based aircraft pilots refer to? What level of coordination has been achieved between the Air Force bombers and the Navy carrier group?

Military commentator Du Wenlong: The Air Force and Navy belong to different military branches, each having its own characteristics and strict requirements in communication and other means. The H-6K generally performs cross-coast and anti-ship attack missions at long ranges. By using coded messages and coordinating with carrier-based aircraft pilots, especially those flying the J-15 and J-35 fighter jets, they can play an important role in providing aerial cover during formation flights.

If intercepted by the enemy, the fighters can drive away external aircraft to protect the H-6K's flight.

If the H-6K completes its combat mission, it can also provide escort.

In the case of a joint attack on a target, whether using airborne bombs or missiles, the attack effects will be additive.

The close cooperation of different military branches through aerial weaponry in distant seas can achieve significant results, and it also indicates that the tacit understanding generated by coded messages between different military branches is rapidly improving.
