That looks like a tight fit... can the type 99 which is supposedly 0.5m wider fit inside?

The vehicle depicted in the photo is in the foreground which makes it appear larger than it is.
More images of loading IFV, SPH, and trucks into Y-20.
The significance of these picture is that they are news reports about PLA's participation in the upcoming Kavkaz-2020 (Caucasus-2020) multi-national war games in Russia.

That and about 30 years of engine development. It gains about 5 metric tons vs the Y8.
I don't think we've seen a Y-8 produced in years.
I recall that the first "Y-8 category III" airframes (basically Y-9 in all but name) produced were for their AEW&C, ELINT/SIGINT aircraft, and for a time Y-8 transports were produced alongside those "cat III" special mission aircraft.
Now Y-9 transports have superseded the Y-8 transports, and the category III airframes I suspect should be Y-9 airframes as well.
