, the recent elements made public by the Chinese aeronautic manufacturer leave little doubt about the existence of such a program.

Indeed, in a music video broadcast by the Chinese group on April 27 appeared a brief passage where we see a miniaturized model of Y-20, with on the side of the staff who worked around a kind of simulator for mothership with a rigid pole.

We also see a little further in the video that Chinese technicians seem to be analyzing images, first on Probe & Drug supply (also called "nanny") with an American F / A-18D, then of what appears to be the simulation of an operator's position, which controls on the one hand the rigid boom supply (also called "Flying Boom") with a new J-20 fighter, and on the other two other refueling to cart with the J-10S.

So this is the first time that we have concrete material to confirm the fact that the AVIC is actually developing a rigid pole refueling system, to be able to integrate it into a tanker plane, derived from its aircraft transport Y-20, also in development.

In sum, if all of these elements belong to the same program, it is highly likely that the Y-20 tanker version, probably called Y-20U, will have three supply points including a rigid boom.

Concerning the Y-20B with the IFR-boom, the original link to EP is dead? Any info on why?

Can you please do some of your own research before asking questions like this?

All you need to do is look up some images of standard Y-20As to answer your own question, instead of expecting this forum to address such a basic question.
