There is conflicting information on the range of this beauty.

Wonder if in can reach Taiwan from one of the artificial islands in the SCS?

Yes, yes. It can only flies a range of 99km. That will make you Indian at ease, right?

This is very old model of Y20, more than 5 years old I think. I remember many doubters simply dismissed this a fake when the photo first showed up. They were so wrong!

The engines shown are WS-20.

When the Chinese needs are met expect this bird in PAF colours... PAF & PA would need at least 20 of these...

Anyone has an idea what is production rate of Y20 is at the moment? One suspects the next five years to be full throttle on this one.
