Family, today let's talk about a heavyweight Chinese-made - Y-20 "Kunpeng" transport aircraft.
Let's talk about it first, this Yun-20 is the pride of the Chinese Air Force, which has carried out many international missions and performed quite well.
During the epidemic, Y-20 served as a global "courier brother", sending anti-epidemic materials to all over the world, and also picked up the remains of volunteers and delivered FK-3 air defense missile systems to Serbia.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "strong man of the sky".
On March 31, 2024, the Chinese team arrived in Moscow on this Yun-20 to participate in the international military competition "Sayan Ridge March".
This is a great opportunity to show the strength of the Yun-20.
You must know that before the appearance of the Y-20, the Chinese Air Force had been working on Il-76 transport aircraft imported from Russia.
The Il-76 is also an old man, but since the Y-20 entered service, its workload has been greatly reduced.
The Y-20 is like the "new favorite" of the Chinese Air Force, which is specially responsible for long-distance transportation, can pull and fly, and is definitely an important equipment of the Air Force.
Speaking of which, one may ask, the heavy transport aircraft of the United States and Russia are so good, can our Yun 20 compare? Let's start with the United States.
In the history of the U.S. Air Force, large transport aircraft played a significant role in the Vietnam War, the Korean War, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War.
For example, during the Gulf War, the US Air Force mobilized more than 500 transport planes to transport more than 500,000 military personnel and 550,000 tons of supplies to the vicinity of Iraq.
The role of transport aircraft in the war is really huge.
They are responsible not only for the delivery of individual combat equipment, anti-aircraft missiles, infantry and helicopters, but also for the airdrop of combat personnel and supplies.
For a country as vast as China, it is crucial to have its own large transport aircraft.
The service of the Y-20 has improved the rapid deployment capability of the Chinese Air Force, allowing us to respond to various situations faster and more effectively in emergency situations.
However, speaking of the gap, there is still a certain distance between the Y-20 and the heavy transport aircraft of the United States and Russia.
The United States has the C5 "Galaxy" transport plane, and Russia has the An-124 "Ruslan" transport plane, their carrying capacity is quite amazing, can reach 120-150 tons, and our Y-20 currently has a maximum carrying capacity of 66 tons.
This gap is in everyone's eyes.
However, our Chinese aviation industry is not idle, it is constantly improving, and it is expected to have its own heavy strategic transport aircraft in the future.
Let's take a look at the comparison between the Y-20 and the C5 "Galaxy" transport aircraft.
The Y-20 fuselage is 47 meters long, while the C5 is 75.54 meters long.
The Yun-20 has a wingspan of 45 meters, while the C5 has a wingspan of 67.88 meters.
In terms of maximum take-off weight, the Y-20 is 220 tons, while the C5 is 375 tons.
The most critical carrying capacity is the maximum 66 tons of the 20, while the C5 can reach 130 tons.
Although these data show the gap, they also let us see the potential of the Y-20 and the space for future development.
Speaking of which, family, we have to have faith.
Although the Y-20 still has shortcomings, it is already a capable officer of the Chinese Air Force and has made great contributions to our national defense cause.
Moreover, with the continuous development of China's aviation industry, the future Y-20 will be even better.
We have reason to believe that in the near future, China will also have a heavy strategic transport aircraft like the C5 "Galaxy", and truly realize the transformation from a "catch-up" to a "leader".
You say this luck 20, although there is a gap compared with C5, but we can't underestimate it.
It is like a child of China's aviation industry, growing up from scratch and growing up little by little.
You see, it's pretty reliable in all sorts of tasks, too.
At the time of the epidemic, it ran all over the world, delivering supplies, picking up people, and was very busy.
What does this mean, it shows that it is responsible.
It's true that Il-76 is an old fellow, but after the 20-year comes, it can retire with peace of mind.
However, we have to admit that the gap is indeed there.
C5 that guy is really a big guy, and he's one size bigger than anything.
But we can't be discouraged by that.
China's aviation industry has been working hard and making progress.
Maybe one day, our Yun 20 will be able to have a big upgrade, which will impress those foreigners.
Think about it, if our Yun 20 can reach the level of C5 or even surpass it in the future, how good it will be.
When the time comes, we will be able to straighten our backs in the international arena and say that our Chinese transport aircraft are also leveraged.
Besides, isn't this luck 20 pretty good now?
Although the carrying capacity is not as good as that of the C5, it is enough for use in our own country.
And it's constantly improving, improving.
You look at those scientific researchers, who are studying there every day, just to make Yun 20 better.
Also, this Y-20 is not just a transport plane.
Behind it is the strength and level of China's aviation industry.
Its appearance let the whole world know that China can also build such a powerful large aircraft.
This is a kind of progress, a breakthrough.
We can't just stare at the gap, we have to see progress.
Just like ourselves, no one knows everything from the beginning, they all learn little by little, and make progress little by little.
Yun 20 is the same, from the beginning of the immature, to the current more and more powerful, this is the result of hard work.
You say that the United States has the C5 and Russia has the An-124, can't we China have its own more powerful transport aircraft? Absolutely.
We have so many outstanding scientific researchers and such strong national support, why can't we do it.
Although there is still a gap between the current Yun 20, it is like a growing tree, as long as it is given time and nutrients, it will definitely grow into a towering tree.
When the time comes, who will dare to underestimate our Chinese transport planes.
Let's not worry, wait slowly, believe in China's aviation industry, believe in our Y-20.
Someday, it will shock the whole world.
At that time, we can proudly say that this is our China's Yun 20, which is amazing.
Let's look back and see that this Yun 20 has achieved a lot of results.
I've performed so many tasks, and I've never dropped the chain.
This is a proof of strength.
Although compared with C5, the data is poor, but in actual use, it does not embarrass us.
In short, family, we must have confidence in Yun 20.
Although there is a gap now, the future is bright.
Let's just wait to see that Yun 20 is getting better and stronger.
