the Y20 will be build brand new so 160 million USD for it sound a good price
but the Kj200 is just 80 milliions its based on Y8 so is it going to be brand new or we will buy off the selves
Y20 is based on the Ilyushin IL-76. They one-upped the Russians. The engines are the same, but they changed the nose and tail sections (more modernized) and heavily modified and strengthened the wing-roots box and added modern main and nose wheel arrangements (three two-wheeler bogies instead of two unusual four-wheeler bogies on each side like in IL-76, nose wheels now number two instead of four). Looks similar to the C-17 at a fraction of the cost. see image below, the Y 20 is in the middle.

On the Russian side, the IL-76 was changed to IL- 476, (a new version) as well. The nose and tail is the same, but the new engines were borrowed from the IL-96 airliner which are newer Aviadvigatel PS-90A's and are way quieter with a lot less fuel burn. The wings are also a brand new design with much better reinforcement. see image below, the inboard engine is the new PS-90A.
Here's a story on the IL-476...
Russia’s IL-476
UAC’s releases refer to IL-76MD-90A aircraft, and the 2 designations can be used interchangeably. The IL-476 has a number of similarities to the new civil IL-76TD-90VD, with quieter and more efficient Aviadvigatel (Perm) PS-90A-76 engines, modern digital avionics and navigation suites, plus a modernized wing design that includes a modified fuel system, reinforced landing gear, and a reinforced body for military missions.
Payload has reportedly increased to around 52t/ 57.3 tons, with a range of about 5,000 km fully loaded.
Compared to previous IL-76 aircraft, the IL-476 reportedly offers an 18% boost to range, a 12% improvement in fuel consumption, better performance in hot temperatures and high altitudes, and a 10.6% improvement in cargo load.
It also reportedly complies with international noise and emission standards, which affects the routes it can be certified to fly.
This level of performance places them well above competitors like the 35t+ capacity
Airbus A400M turboprop, but below the more expensive
Boeing C-17’s 77.5t capacity. On the other hand, the C-17’s production line is expected to shut down within a few years, leaving the global medium-heavy market to the IL-476, Airbus A400M, AN-70, and China’s new Y-20.
In August 2011,
RIA Novosti reported that future buys are expected to bring the IL-476’s Russian orders to about 100 planes over time, with another 50 planes expected as exports.
In the past, Russian IL-76 prices have even allowed them to compete with medium airlifters like the C-130. Russia’s problem has been their reputation for poor reliability, and poor service. So far, Russian officials have acknowledged IL-476 talks with India and China. Both countries already use the IL-76 family, but India has just begun supplementing its fleet with Boeing’s C-17s, and China has just introduced its own Y-20.
