This video tell the travail of KJ2000 development where they have to start from scratch even developing their own radar testing room? Disappointment of contract cancellation by the Israeli and doubt about their own ability to design advanced radar But decision is made to do it themselves
We know now the Chief designer of radome radar Zhang Liang. Young guy fresh out of Phd program
It also tell the development of KJ 500. Wu Manqing is the chief designer
But actually the cancellation by Israel was a blessing in disguise, otherwise China would still rely on foreign AWACS now
The same why when US Govt banned Intel to sell high performance Phi chips to China in 2015 (Obama), since then we know than indigenous Chinese chips powered the fastest super computer in the world since June 2016 till now, Sunway TaihuLight.
So, perhaps more bans from the US govt is a good thing for China
... Chinese indigenous technologies flourishing and also less money to spend for foreign goods
