Would be interesting to know, if China and the PLAAF will also some day go this "big way" and use the Y-20B for a specialised jammer too?

That’s one FUGLY plane.

more likely the Y-15 and C919 will serve as the successor platforms for the GX. PLAAF has far more options.

I know it’s a bit of an ugly duck, but man I can’t help but love the look and functionality.

Did the Japanese air force hire a bunch of hentai artists to design this thing? It's like they tried to bring to life the aircraft equivalent of the 'ugly bastard'.

I bet they hired the same team that designed the X-32. fuglies, both of them.

What the hell happened to the graceful,ethereal ,sublime Japanese aesthetics??-I know form-follows-function but this........does this "pie plate-in-the face" affect aerodynamics-it surely can't help it.
