使用方

戰場角色

Strategic airlift and, in the tanker variant, aerial refuelling — the enabling capability that determines how far and how long other aircraft can operate.

優勢

Indigenous production of large aircraft addresses a long-standing PLA weakness, and the tanker variant directly extends the reach of the combat fleet.

限制

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.

與戰役的關聯

推導所得：這些戰役中的一個參與組織，與此系統有一筆具類型的裝備關聯。這並不等同於有文件記錄該系統在戰役本身中的使用。

外觀識別

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.

有文件記錄的衝突使用

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.
