U.S. media article: China Police 2000 Early Warning aircraft

U.S. National Defense University "joint forces" recently published an article that China is developing and manufacturing advanced airborne early warning aircraft in order to enhance the effectiveness of aircraft, the article said China's efforts to develop three early warning aircraft, including "Air Police -2 000" performance almost equal to the U.S. " E3 Hawkeye "early warning aircraft, but only two will be able to control the Taiwan Strait.

The article said that the PLA were developed by three early-warning "empty police -2,000", "Win -8 balance beam" and "Win -8 disc", which may have been used to deliver troops, "air police -2,000" features the most complete China is by far the highest production level of early warning aircraft, and military role of "E3 Hawkeye" early warning aircraft similar. Australian defense analysts Koop is also the author pointed out that China is developing the three early warning aircraft, at least ─ paragraph may have been in service.

The article says the Chinese military's vision is to establish a well-trained, and equipped with high-tech aircraft, advanced precision-guided munitions and as a "force multiplier" in supporting the modernization of Air Force aircraft, and command, control and intelligence ability to form a network, allowing the PLA Air Force can "information conditions" to fight and win a high-tech war. PLA Air Force will integrate the new support system (such as airborne early warning aircraft, aerial refueling, electronic jamming aircraft and intelligence-gathering aircraft), thereby improving the effectiveness of combat aircraft and enhance capacity to combat operations.

After the PLA get early warning aircraft, in addition to effectively master the dead air, the air traffic control capability will greatly improve, as long as the deployment of more than two early warning aircraft in the Taiwan Strait, in the air battle management capabilities can break the cross-strait balance.

Modernization of the PLA Air Force has made considerable progress in recent years. However, in some of the right-wing scholars of the United States, China has become the normal Air Force modernization of the "establishment of a global nature, offensive air power," "peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region's threat."

Known as "Air leaders" of early warning aircraft, has become the key to the development of world air force. AWACS development to the present, its role has expanded from a simple long-range early warning into the air command and guidance, fire control data transmission and other functions, efficiency, equal to 10 advanced high-performance high-power ground radar, ground-saving 3 surveillance radar regiments. Therefore we can say that in the information war conditions, there is no effective early warning command and guidance, to organize large-scale air war is almost impossible.

For a long time, the rather mysterious early-warning aircraft project has been in China as well as military observers in Western media the focus of attention. Australian analysts Koop mentioned in the text, for many years, theChinese Air Force has always dreamed of airborne early warning aircraft.
