There is no way of tracking that at present, and any number we do have would be a very minimal number that is likely inaccurate

Most interesting image showing PLAAF YY-20A serial number 20545 with its number clearly applied over the previous serial.
Since no. 20842 has become 20542 this is IMO a clear sign, that this may have been the former no. 20845.

should develope seaplanes as well. Similar to the Twin Otter.MA60 coast guard maritime patrol variant. Sorry, I couldn't find better images.
But quite a bit larger than a Twin Otter
China does have the Y-12, which is in the same category as the Twin Otter.
Similar modifications on the Y-12 design to make it amphibious-capable should be possible, similar to the seaplane variant of the Twin Otter.

Self-explanatory.
Only a bit related to this, but defo we have any news regarding Y-20B?
I remember already some time ago, it was reported, the first serial aircraft flew but since then no new unit nor ones with numbers have been seen!
