Is that a WS20, the fan diameter looks wider.

No ! ... just an ordinary D-30.

Not wide enough as WS20 would be.
D-30 has almost 1.5 meter diameter without engine cowling. With engine cowling, it reaches perhaps 1.7-1.8 meter, the height of an average Chinese male. From the photo you can see the overall size is just shorter than the technicians on its side. Definitely a D-30

WS-20 on the other hand is way wider than D-30. See this

. It would be more than 2 meters in diameter.

Can someone identify the vehicle driving in front of the y20?

Can someone identify the vehicle driving in front of the y20?

what special of it are you interested? Is what "ACTC" stands for interests you? The first two Chinese characters are "中国"/China. The car is surely not police or military. The car is very old probably from the 1980s and early 1990s.

New to Huitong the 3th Il-78 N° 20643 pod for refuel débit 2200 l/mn, Il-78M have more fuel and debit for pod 2300 l/mn, seems HU-6 can' t refuel Su-30MKM

In September 2005, the People's Republic of China Air Force (PLAAF) ordered a total of 34 transport aircraft type Il-76MD (Candid B) and the type of refuelers Il-78MK. The latter was to support the fleet of multi-purpose combat aircraft type Su-30MKK (Flanker G) and Su-30MK2 Russian production. Their fuel supply system is incompatible with the single-tank tanker system that was then on the PLAAF inventory, in the form of an H-6U (HU-6) aircraft
