And again it is a not yet previously seen one aka no. 20644
By the way, do we finally have a conclusion, on the question, if these YY-20A tanker are all individual aircraft or if they are being renumbered from the first seen 2084x-2094x numbers to know 2054x-2074x numbers?
I've seen so far arguments for both theories? @huitong what is your understanding on this issue?
How close does the JMSDF plane need to be to take this picture ? within 500m ?A YY-20 refueling J-16s, image courtesy of JMSDF.
No way that close. Super telephoto lenses with focus length 300mm or above can easily capture objects a few kilometres away.
