Chinese state-owned media has claimed that the Xian Aircraft Corporation (XAC) Y-20A Kunpeng strategic transport aircraft is capable of transporting up to two Type 15 (also commonly referred to as ZTQ-15) lightweight battle tanks.
中国官方媒体称,西安飞机公司(YAC)Y-20A型“昆鹏”战略运输机最多可运输两辆15型轻型战斗坦克(也称为ZTQ-15)。

In a 7 April report about military science and technology China Central Television 7 (CCTV 7) also released computer-generated imagery showing two Type 15s in the cargo bay of the aircraft, which has an estimated maximum payload of 66 tonnes and a maximum take-off weight of 220 tonnes, according to Jane's All the World's Aircraft.
在4月7日发布的有关军事科学技术的报道中,中央电视台第7频道(CCTV 7)还发布了计算机生成的图像,显示了飞机货舱中的两辆15型,最大有效载荷估计为66吨, 根据《简氏环球飞机》的报道,飞机最大起飞重量220吨。

Chinese official sources put the range of the aircraft, which the state-owned Global Times newspaper claims is also capable of transporting one 52,000-54,000-tonne Type 99A-series main battle tank, at 4,000 km at maximum payload.
中国官方消息来源透露了这架飞机的航程。据《环球时报》(Global Times)称,这架飞机还能够以4000公里在最大有效载荷下运输一辆52-54吨99A型主战坦克。

The Type 15 lightweight tank, which officially entered service with the People's Liberation Army Ground Force (PLAGF) in 2018, is believed to weigh 33 tonnes in its basic configuration. This may increase to 36 tonnes if an improved explosive reactive armour package is added.
15型轻型坦克于2018年正式进入中国人民解放军陆军部队(PLAGF)服役,其基本配置据信重达33吨。 如果增加改进的爆炸性反应装甲,这可能会增加到36吨。

The Global Times quoted Fu Qianshao, a Chinese air defence expert, as saying that "multiple Y-20s can transport a mixture of Type 15s, Type 99As and other kinds of armoured vehicles, leading to a significant improvement in China's long-range rapid deployment" and strategic transport capability. The four-turbofan Y-20 officially entered service with the PLA Air Force in 2016.
《环球时报》引述中国防空专家傅谦韶(Fu Qianshao)的话说:“多架Y-20可以运输15型,99A型和其他种类装甲车辆,从而大大改善了中国的远程快速部署和战略运输能力。四架涡扇发动机Y-20于2016年在解放军空军正式服役。

The Type 15, which is armed with a 105 mm gun, is protected against hand-held anti-tank weapons. The gun is thought to be capable of firing an armour-piercing, fin-stabilised, discarding sabot (APFSDS) round that is probably capable of penetrating 500 mm of armour from typical combat ranges.
15型具有防便携反坦克武器的保护配备有105毫米主炮。该主炮被认为能够发射尾翼稳定脱壳穿甲弹(APFSDS),可从典型战斗距离穿透500毫米装甲。
