That's an utterly illogical and stupid analogy, irrelevant saliva sprinkling from someone with Dunning-Kruger who's in love with his own voice.

so we have 3 x prototypes within 18 months
face pace of development
I would expect to see 3 more within next 18 months as some will be used for ground testing
and maybe within next 3-5 years a KJ-600 takes off 003

Four we know so far
I sm not surprised by the fast pace of the development. The airframe appears quite conservative. The electronics are probably derived from models already in service.

not so quick
you are balancing a huge radar on top of a small medium sized aircraft
then you take this aircraft and launch it from a carrier
and then you ask it to land too
the aerodynamics and physics involved here are very difficult to master
and the fact that really USN is only the master at is says alot more
Soviet tried but never really succeeded with the Yak-44
Even if China *only* likes to have strong control within 1st island chain, carriers are needed. Both South and East China seas are very large. When you consider 2nd island chain, they are definitely required. So you don need to go that far from Mainland to justify carriers.
