Yes ... 783, 785, 788 or 789 and two yellow birds (those could be the first serial ones)

And also possibly 781 dark grey red serial

But to be honest we already know of 6 operational birds

In theory we could have a line up of 11 x Y20!

My feeling is we are over a dozen now

We don't know if any of the later prototypes were converted for active service.

Y-30 ??
Rumor time from Oedo
It looks like an image released on the official website of the China Aeronautical Research and Development Center, a new medium-sized transport machine. By the way, there was a rumor that the new turbo-propeller engine for the new-type medium-sized transportation machine conducted actual machine tests in the year ago. The model number of the 5000 kW class turbo propeller engine scheduled for use by KJ 600 seems to be WJ - 10.

But isn't this more likely the MA.700 - a twin-engine regional turboprop airliner - than the Y-30, which is -or should be a - four-engine military transport??
