السجل ما هذا النظام، ومن أين أتى، ومن يشغّله، وبأيّ من ملفات Vigil يتصل — مع الأدلة التي يستند إليها كلٌّ من ذلك.
السجل
الصلة بالنزاعات
هذا هو السجل الوحيد لهذا النظام في الكتالوج. وهو ذو صلة بالملف أدناه؛ ويُظهر Force Atlas الخاص بكل ملف كيف يُستخدم فيه.
الدور في ساحة المعركة
Strategic airlift and, in the tanker variant, aerial refuelling — the enabling capability that determines how far and how long other aircraft can operate.
نقاط القوة
Indigenous production of large aircraft addresses a long-standing PLA weakness, and the tanker variant directly extends the reach of the combat fleet.
مواطن القصور
Fleet size and engine production have historically been constraints, and support-fleet capacity remains a limiting factor on sustained operations at distance. No inventory or basing detail is published here.
الصلة بالحملات
مُستنتَج: تحمل جهةٌ مشاركة في هذه الحملات ارتباطًا مصنَّفًا بالمعدات مع هذا النظام. وهذا ليس مثل الاستخدام الموثّق للنظام في الحملة نفسها.

via PLA Air Force (Documented, moderate confidence)
التعرّف البصري
A large four-engine high-wing transport with a T-tail and a notably wide fuselage — superficially similar to Western strategic transports and most reliably identified by its size relative to escorts. The tanker derivative carries hose-and-drogue pods under the outer wings, which is the only external difference visible in most photographs.
الاستخدام الموثّق في النزاعات
In service since the mid-2010s and reported by Taiwan's defence ministry in activity around the island, including the tanker derivative: on 25 May 2026 Taiwan identified an aerial refueller operating with fighters and an airborne early-warning aircraft. The tanker's appearance is the analytically significant part — refuelling capacity is the constraint on sustained activity east of Taiwan, and its presence in a detection report says more than the transport role does. These are Taiwanese detections published by Taiwan and are read on those terms.
