Are those PLA Paratroopers?
They may double or even triple this rate at some point, especially after the WS-20 comes on line. There are only so many DK-30s to go around, after all.They only commissioned 5 planes in more than a year that's less than 1 plane every 2 months.

Not sure I understand what Henri K meant. did he meant now after few hundred hour under the belt they will accelerate the induction of Y 20A because it already prove itself? I can understand it is high priority item and China desperately need plenty of transport
The 12th regiment of the 4th Division will accelerate the reception of the new Y-20A after "a few hundred hours of flight" already carried out.
