Military aircraft on display starting Tuesday include the J-20 stealth fighter and YU-20 aerial tanker.

The PLA in recent days has “revealed new progress made in its advanced weaponry and equipment including its hypersonic missile, amphibious assault ship, aerial tanker and large destroyers, all of which are described by military analysts as having important roles to play if a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Straits,” the Global Times said.

Airbus is teaming up with Lockheed Martin to take on Boeing’s troubled aerial tanker with an American-made version of the European company’s A330 jetliner.

The Air Force repeatedly found debris inside its 767-based aerial tanker.

McGowan said a large aerial tanker was flying from the Australian east coast to help fight the blaze.
