China’s Y‑20B goes modular: Transport jet ready for tanker, early-warning & electronic-warfare roles

China's Y-20B transport aircraft is reportedly moving toward a more modular design, potentially allowing the platform to take on multiple specialized missions beyond heavy airlift. The aircraft could be adapted for roles including aerial refueling, early-warning operations, and electronic warfare, giving the People's Liberation Army Air Force greater flexibility. Such configurations could expand China's ability to support long-range military operations across the Indo-Pacific while reducing reliance on separate aircraft platforms. Watch the full report for the latest developments, the Y-20B's potential capabilities, and what its modular approach could mean for China's growing airpower.
