I'm pretty sure these are S-400 canisters
From that segment, so among other things it should be accommodate a ZTZ99A, or three ZBL08 pattern (?) AFVs, or a HQ-9 TEL with two missiles (unsure if it can also accommodate the two additional missiles as standard; this may have been an initial footprint test displayed)
The significance of the HQ-9 TEL is probably the most notable -- as far as long distance strategic deployment goes, the ability deploy a relatively combat ready LR SAM TEL in a regular strategic transport without needing a super heavy transporter (like An-124 or C-5) is somewhat notable.
(For example, I am unsure if Il-76 has the footprint to accommodate a standard S-300 TEL)

so it is kind of cool to see all these that could be transported. Especially LR SAM TEL & also DF TELs.

信息量超大的宣传片
首次公布Y-20A装载HQ-9B、S-400防空导弹发射车及备弹的画面，还用文字说明DF也可以运。
除了比较少见的空投轮式空降战车、飞船等，同时还公布了重量级的H-6N轰炸机空中加油画面，以及YY-20A与海军J-15的编队，还有J-20受油探杆的清晰细节。
给了一帧模糊的大鸡炖蘑菇夜景，暗示KJ-20即将到来，还有给六代机加油的畅想。
