First flight test of China's new beast plane: set to beat USA's 'doomsday' candidate? | Y-30| C-130J

China has reportedly flown its new Xi’an Y‑30 transport, a C‑130J and A400M rival meant to haul 37–40‑ton payloads and transform PLA airlift. Paired with the CH‑7 stealth drone’s maiden flight, the Y‑30 debuts just as Washington eyes the C‑130J for a future nuclear “doomsday” command jet.
