女帝Y-20B can switch between transport, tanker, other combat roles, PLA documentary reveals_我的网站
A | 当前，高温、暴雨等极端天气多发，用电负荷大幅攀升，工贸企业火灾、触电、中毒窒息风险显著上升。  With such modifications, the Y-20B platform offers significant advantages in mission flexibility and support capabilities, a military affairs expert told the Global Times. According to the video released by state broadcaster CCTV News, since the Y-20 was equipped with the domestically developed high-bypass-ratio turbofan WS-20 engine - nicknamed "Chinese heart" - the Y-20B's mission profile has become more flexible. While it is primarily a transport aircraft, it can be quickly converted into an aerial refueling tanker by adding refueling pods and related kits. The line between transport and tanker aircraft is increasingly blurred, and this has significantly expanded the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force's tanker fleet. Previously, a promotional video released by China Military Bugle, an official media account affiliated with the PLA news media center, showed that in 2025, the Y-20B was fitted with the WS-20, making it more powerful, more fuel-efficient, longer-ranged and part of a growing family of aircraft. In the CCTV documentary, Pang Rongqi, a member of an Air Force aviation unit, said: "As a transport aircraft platform, the Y-20 is unique to our country and will play an increasingly important role in the future. The boundaries between transport aircraft and bombers, early warning aircraft, or even electronic warfare aircraft are becoming increasingly blurred. It is possible that all these missions could be accomplished with our transport aircraft platform." Song Zhongping, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Thursday that the key message from this official release is that the Y-20B is a multi-role platform capable of rapid switching between transport and refueling functions. The fully domestically developed Y-20B itself is an integrated transport-tanker platform, embodying the concept of a multi-role tanker transport (MRTT). By equipping different functional pods, it can quickly change roles: With refueling pods, it becomes a tanker; with electronic jamming pods, it becomes an electronic warfare platform; with bombing modules, it could potentially perform bombing missions; and with early warning modules, it can serve as an airborne early warning platform, Song said. It is not uncommon internationally to modify transport aircraft for special roles, including bomber-like missions. In March 2021, the US Air Force converted an MC-130J transport aircraft into a bomber by having it drop a JASSM (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile) deployment box, according to a Forbes report in May 2021. Thanks to the Y-20's fully indigenous design, Song said, Chinese engineers have a comprehensive understanding of its aerodynamic configuration, airframe structure, flight control and avionics systems. This means that, as long as the technical conditions are met, modifications can be carried out with greater flexibility and tailored to operational needs. Whether it is a "quick-change" multi-role configuration through pod-based modularization, or deeper modifications, such as installing large radar domes for dedicated early warning aircraft or adding more fuel tanks for dedicated tankers, all can be flexibly achieved. Song also said that the Y-20B can quickly switch between transport, tanker and electronic warfare roles by mounting different pods, achieving multi-role capability and greatly enhancing the PLA Air Force's mission flexibility and support efficiency. Its platform potential is vast. It can be deeply modified into dedicated special mission aircraft such as early warning or electronic warfare platforms, filling critical capability gaps in the Air Force. At the same time, it can maintain its basic transport function and, when needed, rapidly transform into other combat platforms through modularization, becoming a true all-rounder. The core value of this flexibility is that it allows rapid reconfiguration based on wartime mission requirements, while in peacetime it can perform routine transport missions, maximizing equipment effectiveness. The Y-20B's service not only represents a leap in China's strategic projection capability but also provides critical support for the PLA Air Force in building a systematic and diversified air capability, Song noted. On July 6, 2016, the Y-20, China's domestically developed next-generation large military transport aircraft, officially entered service with PLA Air Force aviation units. A decade later, the Y-20 has evolved from a single transport platform into a family of models including the Y-20A, Y-20B and YU-20 aerial refueling tanker, with its operations extending to more than 40 countries and regions across four continents, according to the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the aircraft's manufacturer, on its WeChat account in June 2026. 。部分企业为节能降耗加大夜间生产强度，人员疲劳、夜间视野受限等因素叠加，机械伤害、高处坠落事故进入易发期。为有效防范化解工贸企业8月份突出安全风险，应急管理部向工贸企业发出安全生产工作提示，严防六类生产安全事故，并加强“厂中厂”“园中园”安全治理。
B | 一是严防有限空间作业中毒窒息事故。
C | 要严格落实有限空间作业审批制度，作业前必须对有限空间气体浓度进行检测，作业现场必须配备安全防护和应急救援装备，设置专职监护人员，严防有限空间作业事故发生。 二是严防高温熔融金属遇水喷爆事故。要定期检修熔炼炉等炉体水冷装置，避免冷却水泄漏进入炉内接触高温熔融。 三是严防触电事故。要对电气线路、开关、配电箱、用电设备等开展全面排查，重点整治线路老化、绝缘破损、超负荷运行等隐患。 四是严防机械伤害事故。
D | 要严格执行作业前安全确认，落实岗位责任制和岗位操作规程，加强光栅、急停、防护罩等安全防护装置排查整治。 五是严防高处坠落事故。
E | 要严格落实高处作业审批制度，强化作业人员安全教育培训，规范佩戴安全帽、安全带等劳动防护用品。
F | 六是严防危险化学品燃爆事故。涉及危化品储存、使用的工贸企业要严格落实降温、通风、远离火种等措施，严控高温环境下危化品泄漏、燃爆风险。 同时，各地区要加强工业“厂中厂”“园中园”安全治理，进一步摸清风险底数，压实出租方承租方安全管理责任，督促出租方严格落实统一协调管理责任、承租方严格落实安全主体责任，严禁堵塞疏散通道、非法违规生产经营、违法违规施工改造，严格动火作业安全管理，坚决防范火灾、爆炸、坍塌等事故发生。（记者 刘温馨）。
