Wow!!! Short Take Off capability is shown here, maybe due to empty cargo?
China's transport, tanker & heavy lift aircraft
- Thread starter Totoro
- Start date
I think this is the same 6 airplanes on their third trips.

Captain
6 Y20, total 18 sorties.
That was an impressive and useful (training) mission by PLAAF.
But Y-20 cannot make it from China to Serbia and back in one day. So they must have sent all their "goods" to an intermediate point and finish the delivery by Y-20 in 3 consecutive days.
No one noticed the initial shipment by Y-20 ? Or may be they were sent by sea freight.

The title clearly states "架"
Again, read the content of the report more carefully:
航空查询软件FlightRadar24的信息显示，10日，第二批6架国产运-20大型运输机穿越土耳其领空，抵达塞尔维亚首都贝尔格莱德郊区的巴塔尼察空军基地。当地社交媒体拍摄到的画面现实，6架中国运20运输机顺利降落在塞尔维亚巴塔尼察空军基地。
12架次运-20先后奔赴海外执行任务，这是运-20有史以来赴海外执行任务的飞机数量最多的编队。
虽然塞尔维亚官方没有证实导弹交付，但塞尔维亚总理武契奇10日表示，塞尔维亚军队将在周二或周三展示接收到的“最新的武器”。
这6架运-20的编号为20041、20042、20045、20047、20049和20142，与9日的一样。值得一提的是，由于第二批次的运-20航线和9日基本一样，也有不少土耳其居民拍摄到在博斯普鲁斯海峡上空巡航飞行的运-20。
Translate the sentences in bold:
12 sorties of Y-20....
....
The 6 Y-20's serial numbers are: 20041..... the same as those arrived on the 9th (与9日的一样).
