Please offer some commentary of your own to the article, especially because Min News is not particularly credible and is one of those poorly translated news sites that takes random Chinese language articles and turns them into English without much nuance.

This is especially dubious given the credibility of the original Chinese language articles are often poor and random.

Or better yet, avoid posting articles from Min News in general.

Two Y20 at CFTE (China Flight Testing Establisment), Yanliang, Xi'an. Not sure what are being tested.

Is the one on the left (pale white) having a mount for satellite comm or MAWS? Are we also looking at signals emitter /receiver side mounts?

The second one has contracted chickenpox. And I'm happy for both.

Aren‘t these Il-76s? The wing is different.

Left is the engine testbed.

What is exactly the seemingly exposed big rivets on the surface of the main wings of the Y-20 that Deino posted ? Or why do the aircraft have them?
