The People's Liberation Army Yun-20 debuted at the European Air Show, causing concern from the outside world. Many European media believe that this is the great achievements of the PLA and China's aviation industry in demonstrating their own achievements, reflecting the greater transparency and self-confidence of the Chinese military. Only the US media is concerned about whether the Y-20 can carry main battle tanks and what role it will play in future operations in the Taiwan Strait.
The Chinese Air Force Y-20 transport aircraft that went to Austria to participate in the "AirPower-2022" air show has left Zerteweg, and although the Y-20 did not perform an air show in Austria, there are still many European aviation enthusiasts who take advantage of the Y-20 to "feast their eyes" when the Y-20 leaves. The Air Power-2022 air show features 200 military and civilian aircraft from 20 countries, of which the Y-20 is undoubtedly one of the most interesting aircraft in this air show. The Austrian media even called it "a phoenix from the Middle Kingdom, driving in Europe!" ”
By participating in the air show in Europe, the PLA has shown a transparent and confident image to the outside world, and the Y-20 is a symbol of peace, frequently going abroad to carry out disaster relief material delivery tasks, demonstrating China's commitment to fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of major countries. At the same time, it also demonstrates China's ability to design and build the latest transport aircraft, allowing the world to see China's new achievements in the field of aviation, marking that China's aviation industry has moved towards a world-class level.
Such a "journey of peace" made the US media, which has always liked to rub secretly and maliciously speculate on other countries, sit still. In the report of the US "National Interest" magazine, it is more concerned about what kind of role the Y-20 will play in the future of "closing the station". Us media said that the Y-20 can rely on its strong transportation capabilities to carry long-range or intercontinental flights while carrying heavy equipment such as main battle tanks, without stopping at the transit airport to refuel.
When the Y-20 carries the Type 99 main battle tank can perform rapid transport across the Taiwan Strait, the Y-20 is obviously more rapid than the tank landing ship. Using the Y-20 transport aircraft to carry main battle tanks, compared with traditional sea transport, it can not only save landing time, but also concentrate armored forces to key areas of the island in a shorter period of time and carry out surprise attacks. Although the bulky M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank of the US military can also be airlifted by the US C-17 transport aircraft, it must be reduced in advance during transportation, and it cannot form combat effectiveness immediately after arriving at the airport.
At present, the US military attaches great importance to rapid response deployment, and is developing light high-mobility firepower that can be airdropped and has a certain degree of armor protection, and if it faces a major threat, it can immediately move out and use airdrop to enter the battlefield to participate in combat. At the same time, the Americans also tried to sell the M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank to Taiwan, trying to delay or delay the pace of the Platon Army and reserve time for the military intervention of the US military. And this naïve idea is undoubtedly "mantis arm as a car" when it really faces the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
