China’s ‘Flying Giant’ Y-20 Heavy-Lift Aircraft Delivers Weapons To Russia’s Key Ally In Europe.?.

Why Did Y-20s Undertake The Flight To Europe?

The Y-20 has previously been used by China on missions to Europe. The PLA, for example, used a Y-20 to transport 105 PLA honor guard personnel to Moscow in June 2020 for the Russian Victory Day celebration.However, to reach Serbia from China, the Y-20s would have to fly through multiple nations which would mean that China must have had extensive coordination and communication with the governments of the countries that it would have to pass through, a Chinese analyst speculated.

But the Chinese experts could not ascertain why the aircraft undertook a flight to Serbia at a time when a war is raging between Russia and Ukraine.

It is pertinent to mention that Serbia is a close Russian ally that has condemned the war but has stopped short of imposing sanctions on Russia. Serbia also enjoys a close relationship with China.

Later, reports indicated that the Chinese cargo aircraft that caused ripples were dispatched to the Balkan state for delivering a sophisticated Chinese anti-aircraft system to Belgrade. However, China has maintained that only “regular military supplies” were delivered to Serbia.

CHINA JOIN .Ukraine War ? Support Russia ?

.The Washington Post described it as a “semi-secret operation” that raised concerns in the west regarding an arms buildup in Serbia at the time of a war that could potentially threaten the peace in the Balkan region that remains fragile.

According to media and military experts, the fleet of aircraft delivered HQ-22 surface-to-air missile systems for the Serbian military. Experts viewed the transfer of armaments over the territory of at least two NATO member states, Turkey and Bulgaria, as a symbol of China’s expanding global reach.During the 1990s, Serbia was embroiled in a conflict with its neighbors. The country, which has formally applied for EU membership, has already begun to strengthen its military forces with Russian and Chinese weapons, including aircraft, battle tanks, and other equipment.

The West is concerned that Russia and China arming Serbia may encourage the Balkan country to fight again, particularly against Kosovo, which declared independence in 2008 with American help. Serbia, Russia, and China do not recognize Kosovo’s independence as opposed the western world.

The Chinese cargo jets landed at Nikola Tesla International Airport in the capital of Belgrade, with plane watchers catching their Chinese markings on final approach and on the tarmac. Observers noted at least some of the planes had the covers for their chaff and flare countermeasures systems removed. It looks very much like they may have been equipped with live countermeasures, which would be anticipatory of some sort of potential threat. What that threat would have been isnt clear.

Half A Dozen Chinese Y-20 Cargo Jets Popped Up Over Europe Last Night 

The flight of Y-20 transports reportedly delivered weaponry to Serbia but also served as a demonstration of Chinas growing global reach.

Flight trackers got an interesting surprise late Friday night when six People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Y-20 cargo planes appeared heading west in Turkish airspace towards Serbia.

Open-source aircraft tracker Evergreen Intel told The War Zone fellow tracker @ameliairheart first spotted the flights just north of Istanbul, Turkey. 

“This was my cue to bring up both Flightradar24 and my ADSBexchange selective database that includes Y-20A/U known hex codes,” Evergreen Intel told The War Zone. “Sure enough, the different apps showed other Y-20s along the same flight route, spaced out about 100km apart stretching from Istanbul all the way to almost the Georgian border.”

“This was unique in that it was in the early hours and with so many Y-20s together, all using MLAT (multilateration). Given that it was said to be a scheduled weapons delivery, this makes sense. Similar NATO deliveries to Poland or Ukraine by military transports have used MLAT  before.”

The unexpected Chinese cargo aircraft landed at the Nikola Tesla International Airport in the Serbian capital, Belgrade. Aviation watchers noticed Chinese markings on the cargo jets on the final approach and the tarmac.

At least some of the planes’ chaff and flare countermeasures systems had their coverings removed, according to observers, The War Zone noted. They appeared to have been outfitted with live countermeasures, which would indicate that they were anticipating a threat. However, the nature of that threat could only be specified by the PLA Air Force officials.
