Who knows, perhaps someone in China is secretly helping the U.S. take down China.

With a C-17?

Na... it is transporting gold to China, part of settlement of matured US treasury bills.

I think that may be rather trivial, even if it is the montercraft. And if there is anything fishy at all, trust that our Chinese bros will be attending to all that...

Chengdu Military Region covers Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tibet.

One wonders what is the US interest here!

The C17 could be carrying surveillance and electronic equipment.

And you are a Military Professional.......? Bravo...

That would be the worst kept secret of the century.

Its a big bear man , gigantic aircraft. Even il-78 looks like a kid in front of it

The American C-5 Galaxy is bigger than the C-17.
C-17 is for carrying bulky items on short runways if the conditions dictate.

I'd leave it to you to figure that one out.

Who would that be ?

Could be money or technology

Biggest aircraft is the An-225 (Russian )

Although, only 1 is operational.
