I like the modern streamlined look. The nose is sharper, curved windshield blended with the fuselage and the undercarriage housing looks conformal.

I Love it t2contra "stealth transport" , you may be onto something, when my Dad flew the MC-130e in the 60s it had nearly 400 lbs of radar absorbing paint, the good old Combat Talon 1.. Brat

While being a trash hauler wasn't glamorous it sure was kool, and although I hated the camo paint jobs, still do, the sight and sound of 10-12 C-130s coming over our house at 06:00 hours at tree-top level in, in-trail formation was something. Even a slug-a-bed like me rolled out of the sak, course I always missed the first one or two, and it may be my long lost fantasy, but we had a large oak in the front yard that waved in the breeze.

Here is a picture of an unidentified high-bypass turbofan engine from China. Could it be the WS-20?

Never mind. It is just a 3200kg thrust turbofan intended for ARJ-21.

If you can't read, again - I'm citing ANPK Antonov chief Kiva words at Le Bourget 2011.
Antonov staff at AviaSvit 2010 where Y-20 CFD placard was seen confirmed Antonov assistance to XAC for new transport to Piotr Butowski.

So statements of Antonov chief designer and staff repeated at different places, different times have more weight for me than forum fanboy's own universe.



Antonov is Not Russian, it is Ukrainian.

So what is your point ?

As I said before. Russia can still export some IL-476 to China but that number will be dramatically reduced. Russia will be lucky to export 16 brand new IL-476 to China and they have to come with IL-78 tankers.

Same can be said to Su-35. Russia will be LUCKY to export 24 Su-35 to China, this is however still just a probability. And Russia must provide other good stuffs like S-400 and attach it with the deal.

Understand ??
