    For all the Y-8 in China

    Without much fanfare, the China Airforce has created a new family of Y-8 Specialized birds.

    I am not an expert, but these look like Tu or An (more like it)

    How old is the design of these?
    Are these new planes, or old refurbished, redesignated ones?

    The y-8 C base model is based on An-12. The Y-8E/F model is "modernized" with help from Lockheed Martin.

    Y-8 F (100 to 400) are all new birds.
