Y-9s taxiing... A similar image was shared before but what the heck, one more doesn't hurt.

The distance of a direct flight from Beijing (where the PLA Guard of Honor is stationed) to Moscow is 5,807 kilometers.


20041 probably took one stop in the middle, which was likely Urumqi. Beijing to Urumqi: 2,416 kilometers


Urumqi to Moscow: 3,741 kilometers


Even 3,741 kilometers is probably the longest flight so far with a payload of 20-30 tons (105 passengers + equipment & supply).

After its deployment to Wuhan, the PLAAF is becoming more confident in deploying the Y20 in various missions.
