PLA AEW&C, SIGINT, EW and MPA thread

Yes, but that image I posted shows the two prototypes + one PAF ZDK-03 since it is from November last year and not the new PLAAF-colored KJ-500.

Ah I should have spotted that white line through the rotodome on the operational AWACS!

Recently we have seen lots of aircraft coming out so here is a summary for clarification of the Y-9/8 Cat III platform variants

So far 6 versions

First we have the Y-9 platform as cargo called the Y-9

Second we have the KJ-500 AWACS

Third we have the Y-9G ECM variant

Fourth we have KJ-200 AWACS

Fifth we have the Y-9JB EW aircraft

Sixth we have the Y-8Q ASW

Y-8/9 family

Oh wow nice but we already knew that a operational unit has been sitting around makes me think how many are actually operational

A line up would be niceeee!

...A line up would be niceeee!

Similar to the J-10Bs I would already be happy with a 5-digit number !
