I just saw this on Reddit, anyone have the original source? So the Y-20 is at least capable of dropping a missile off the back of the cargo hold.

On a TV channel for kids (少儿)? I am skeptical.

It looks like a YY-20 is in the process of refueling a KJ-500A.

Seem to be a fake news. The plane looks like a C17 rather than a Y20.

The amount of fake news on Chinese military on social media is astounding... What is the incentive to even fake this?

In order to seek attention, this is an era of eyeball economy. Bureaucrats often don't mind this until one day these media make huge social news.

In essence, these self-media members are similar to CCN, BBC, South China Morning Post and some other media.For example, they will regard Baidi as a project of the Chinese Air Force
