China's transport, tanker & heavy lift aircraft

A new Y-20?

Could be anything ... from the very first prototype (what I don't think since the yellow was different) to any other Y-20...

Y-9s taxiing...

First time to see the cockpit of Y -9 very modern

Wow I am having a real trouble keeping up right now with Chinese military

Scores of new photos and units !!!

10254 highest we have seen I think !

Is there any recent news about the agreement betwen china and ukraine regarding the new ant-225 planes that would be built in china? almost a year has passed since this agreement.



Also, this plane can get almost 200t off the ground. Will this impact the chinese space launcher industry? will it replace any of the launchers that china has right now or is developing?

Apparently China will build 2 units one at Chengdu and one at Shaanxi

A monster relic of the Soviet Union

Y-9 for medevac operation. In the background on the right, note the pile of litters (a.k.a. stretchers) on the floor, and on the left, a configurable multi-level litter rack.

Does China have or is working on something like the AC-130 gunship ?

Is there a need for such a contraption?

China would be better off building a low-level, heavily-armed CAS aircraft like the A-10 but with the Type 1130 rotary cannon and a full complement of TY-90/HJ-10/CM-502KG.
