China’s new sea plane could soon ferry troops into the South China Sea

The AG600 Kunlong, a domestically-built Chinese aircraft roughly the size of a Boeing 737, recently completed several on-water tests on a lake in central China,

It can reportedly even land in choppy seas with its hull-like fuselage.
