Is there any recent news about the agreement betwen china and ukraine regarding the new ant-225 planes that would be built in china? almost a year has passed since this agreement.
Also, this plane can get almost 200t off the ground. Will this impact the chinese space launcher industry? will it replace any of the launchers that china has right now or is developing?
Y-9 for medevac operation. In the background on the right, note the pile of litters (a.k.a. stretchers) on the floor, and on the left, a configurable multi-level litter rack.
China would be better off building a low-level, heavily-armed CAS aircraft like the A-10 but with the Type 1130 rotary cannon and a full complement of TY-90/HJ-10/CM-502KG.
