The YU-20A is the latest generation aerial refueling aircraft of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). Developed from China’s Y-20 strategic transport platform, the YU-20A is designed to significantly extend the range and endurance of fighter jets, bombers, and other combat aircraft, supporting long-distance missions and modern joint-operations requirements.
Equipped with advanced refueling systems, the YU-20A uses hose-and-drogue technology and features multiple refueling points, allowing it to support various aircraft during flight operations. Its high payload capacity, long-range capability, and modern avionics make it a key asset for enhancing force projection and operational flexibility.
This aircraft represents a major step forward in China’s aerial refueling capabilities, enabling more frequent and longer-range air training missions, humanitarian support, and strategic mobility. In this airshow performance, the YU-20A demonstrates its presence and precision as one of the PLAAF’s newest and most important support aircraft.
