The National Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan has received its first Y8F200W military transport aircraft from China.

According to Kazakhstan’s source, the National Guard has received into service the first of 8 ordered Chinese-made Y8F200W military transport aircraft.

The aircraft is built by the Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation at its facility in Hanzhong, Shaanxi province. The Y8F200W modification is different from basic version elongated by 2.2 m fuselage.




The new aircraft is the iteration of a family of aircraft that began with the Soviet-made Antonov An-12 ‘Cub’, which first flew in 1957.

The Y8F200W is a medium-size and medium-range transport aircraft that can take off on gravel or snow-covered runways with an altitude within 3,000 meters above the sea level. It is using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings and was designed specifically to transport troops and equipment.

The Shaanxi Y8 roughly comparable to the United States’ Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules.

The aircraft maker has exported the Y-8 series aircraft to more than 3 countries (some source reported about 10 countries) and regions since 1980s.

man i want china should come out from soviet russian designs and do something innovative new designs

it takes times bro.
Such as Type 055 large destroyer and 99A tank, has no soviet russian designs.

Plus Y-8 is mature designs,low cost and reliable,taht is why Kazakhstan choose Y-8 not Y9 （the latter is more espensive for sure）if it is reliable and can meet our demands ,why we need to create new unstable design？！

and plus,Y-8 is not advacned production line in PLA,the most advanced now in PLA is Y20.

China's current strategy is not to bomb the globe. China's current military strategy is still a positive defense strategy. The United States has adopted a global offensive strategy since World War II. China's top priority is still to develop the economy. After becoming a developed country, China can have 10 , 20 , or even 30 aircraft carriers.
Without money,no country can keep the most advanced military equipment permanently.

Kazakhstan is a good friend of China, we share a long common border, they never allow any anti China activities in their soil and never point figures at us, a good example of mutual trust and partnership. Love from China.

Based on improved engine performance and fuel efficiency and the use of new composite materials, I believe that the solid and cost-effective Y-8 transport aircraft will continue to operate for 20 years.

Y-8 lack of radar and modern avionics so it is a much cheaper transport compare to better Y-9.

These show there is still a huge market for better price military product rather than advance product.

Better than old c130

Y-8 beats C130 on everything except the cargo ceiling. C130 cargo bay looks higher than Y-8 one.
