WS-18... Is it enough for our national need. We dont have the need to ferry a 72tons MBT.

The hangar looks like the one from the factory.

Winter has come ...

It's Deep winter indeed very cold in the northern regions (incl NE & NW). The Songhua River in Heilongjiang is still freezing thoroughly. The annual event of Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, the largest one in the world, is still primed at this very moment. Have nice holiday every one! Festive season ahead.

Not sure if this is an image of a Y-20U tanker or - give the shape of that store - more likely Y-20A carrying a KG800 ECM pod.

What do think? This image was posted yesterday at the CJDBY-Forum (https://lt.cjdby.net/thread-2610446-1-1.html) but I decided not to post it since I'm quite unsure if not again simply the engine's cowlings are open. Anyway, at least the one on top of the right wing looks indeed wider.

Beautiful plane. Thanks for sharing great pics. What are intended numbers that PLAAF wants to induct?

Finally, they decide to use Y-20 for some real mission.
