What is the military significance of China Yun -20' s successful first flight?
Hello! Glad to answer your question!

On the 26th, the first test flight of Yun -20 large transport aircraft independently developed by China was a complete success. The appearance of the domestic Universiade means that China Air Force has taken a solid step to the level of strategic air force.

Once the Yun -20 aircraft is delivered, the PLA can perform more military tasks through its powerful performance. "Where the national interests go, the army will protect them" will no longer be a slogan. Yun -20 will fully guarantee China's ability to safeguard national strategic interests and overseas assets. Comparing with the mode of US military building strategic airlift force, if China is equipped with 100 Yun -20 aircraft, China's airlift capacity will be second to none in Asia, and if it is equipped with 200 Yun -20 aircraft, it can basically realize rapid troop delivery in the whole Asia-Pacific region, the Indian Ocean Rim region and the strategic interest areas in Europe and Africa. China can transport five mechanized divisions to Greece or Sudan within one week, or airdrop 15 airborne divisions to six important Japanese cities within three days. If equipped with 300 Yun -20 and its improved aircraft, China's strategic airlift capacity will be close to that of the US military.
