Y-20 aerial tanker is the first capable tanker of the PLAAF and could change Chinese strategy. Deployment of the YU-20 Aerial Tanker and images of it tanking up a J-20 and J-16 means the longer range for Chinese fighters.
The YY-20, or Yunyou-20, China's new-generation aerial refueling aircraft, was publicly displayed on Wednesday alongside the J-20 and J-16 in a picture at a press conference in Changchun City, northeast China's Jilin Province, according to CGTN
The People s Liberation Army Air Force will display its latest addition the YY-20 large aerial refueling aircraft during a public event starting on Friday in Changchun, capital of Jilin province.
The YU-20 aerial tanker, the force amplifier that recently entered service with the Chinese People s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force and made frequent appearances in exercises around the island of Taiwan earlier this month, will be a star of the show at the upcoming PLA Air Force open day event with its first static display to the general public.
