I thought they stopped in Baku, Azerbaijan to refuel? Or maybe it was different trips and they did both?

Wow … so the 18th Y-20A within the 4th TD with the numbers 11054 and 11154 either not allocated or not yet spotted!
Y-20 over Serbia.

There are 2 possibilities
1) HQ-22 was sent from factory by rail to Urumqi, Y20 pick up the cargo in Urumqi, flew to Instabul for refuel and then onward to Serbia. On their return leg, they flew direct to Urumqi on empty cargo hold.
Or
2) They loaded HQ-22 at the airfield nearest to the missile manufacturer, which if I guess right, should be in Suzhou. They then flew to Urumqi then to Instanbul and Serbia.

This is what i think the complete flight path should look like. They may or may not stop at Urumqi, but Urunqi should be a wayward point nonetheless.

First, you have to know who those countries buy HQ-9A/FD-2000. Then you will get the flight path of Y-20.
Which countries have bought FD-2000 and operate them? Since when? I'm only familiar with the sale to Pakistan recently.

Stop posting stupid videos with computer-generated voiceovers that add absolutely nothing new to the discussion. Did you just now find out about the Y-20 flights to Serbia? What have we been discussing in this very thread for the past, oh gee let me see, four plus days?
Hello? Anybody upstairs?
