Interesting! The Y-20Bs seen so far practising for the September parade wear unusual formation markings on their tail, but they are different on each side!

A Y-20A conducting Afghan-style/Corkscrew landing.

Despite mentions in the original video, I don't think this landing is conducted at Beirut.

Most likely it was in China. Support truck (compressed air energy storage CAES) with Chinese characters 模块化 ... And orange winter cloth worn by airport worker.

28x Y(Y)-20A/Bs spotted at Kaifeng, which is the highest number so far, per @foolsball on Twitter.

Oh well that is basically IAF's entire strategic airlift fleet in a single airbase.

IAF has as of right now 11 C-17s and 17 Il-76MDs

Also is Kaifeng a PLAAF airlift brigade's base? Does that mean all these aircraft belong to a single brigade?
