C-929 would be the ideal platform, the Y-20 doesn't provide enough space. C-929 would be similar to the IL-80 and Joint STARS

Y-20 can provide enough space. It just a matter of China wanted to do it or not.

Y-20 can't be used as the platform for Chinese E4B alike doomsday plane. An airborne communication and command center requires 100+ staffs to work and live in comfort in the air for multiple days, for which the only candidate are B747 alike passenger planes. That is why China need to speed up c929. Once China has its own doomsday plane, its nuclear arsenal can reach its full scale of deterrent potential.

I think a Doomsday plane is outdated. You can bring it down with a megaton-class EMP.

It's more secure in a deep Underground Great Wall beneath a mountain with fiber-optic connections. Hook up to a few orbiting stealth communication satellites, quick-launch replacement rockets with satellite replacements, or communication drones and you're in business.

 

[Tiqiu]

Doomsday plane is a public display of nuclear power's determination of not afraid of using nukes after giving well thought consideration of the nuclear fallout. Thus China does need it. That also explains the timing of Russia's recent announcement of its soon to be deployed plane.

Whereas for capabilities, China should keep it in secret. The enemy can't counter thing they don't know.

Y-20 can made into a 2 level tier command station. That can accommodate a lot of sustem and people. The capacity inside a Y-20 is intact, very big. That is why even MBT can be haul in for transportation.

Yes, that's why we won't be seeing China having an airborne command center anytime soon at least not until C929 is ready

China will definitely require an airborne command / control center to mobilize, coordinate and facilitate the branches of the PLA together under one strategic command during times of crisis.

1,600-ton gantry crane is ready, prepare for new AC or LPH building in China

The same size gantry crane, China ZPMC exported to Britain for HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH building

The lift capacity of the crane used to build HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH is just 1000t I think.
The one just installed in Jiangnan Shipyard is much more capable.

It can't, only 4x AESA radars can cover whole 360° space, the single one can't ... for example France FREMM-class frigate the single AESA radar on board also rotating, google FREMM video u will find the answer.
