Any idea when it'll be deployed on Liaoning & Shandong? We've been waiting too long.
There hasn't been any solid indications on the KJ-600 to be serving onboard the STOBAR twins, to begin with.
Hopefully they are actually using new engines and not just more WJ-6s, smoke trail is not promising...There were hints but not real solid ones. It would take a very powerful powerplant which some claims the new AEP500 was capable of. But better to be conservative about this.
