But wait ... is this real? It would be a YY-20B with IFR-probes, WS-20 engines and serial numbers, as such an operational bird!

My feeling tells me, the engines on the left wing are off, IMO a FAKE again.

Yes. The engine cowlings on the fake WS-20s also looks pretty weird from that angle. The PSed photograph made the WS-20s as if the photographer is viewing the WS-20s from a nearly perpendicular angle, when in reality, the whole plane itself is angled further away from perpendicular to the photographer.

I greet everyone on this Forum,@Deino , @siegecrossbow,@Blitzo,@by78 ,when will the Chinese government allow the export of this beautiful Y-20 strategic lifter aircraft so that friendly countries like Nigeria can acquire it for it's air force?

I am fairly certain that if a country wanted it they could buy it. At one point there might have been issues getting permission from the Russians to export the aircraft with their engines, it would have been competition for the Il-76, but now that it has Chinese engines there is no chance something like that would happen.
