An-12 Cub

The Y-8 is a transport aircraft manufactured by the Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
The Shaanxi Y-8 is a transport aircraft used by the SRN insurgency. An aircraft exclusive to the single-player campaign, it is seen only in the mission "Spooky", in which two aircraft are present in the rebel-controlled airfield found mid-way through the mission.

The variant featured in the game is supposedly a prototype of the ZDK-03, an AWACS version exported to Pakistan, as evidenced by the plane's T-tail, which no other Y-8 has. It is never identified by name in-game.

One of the game's only two only prop-driven aircraft along with the Tu-95 Bear, its bulk provides it high protection against damage, allowing it to survive constant 25mm fire and a direct 120mm mortar impact, although it is nowhere as durable as the campaign's bomber aircraft.
