Allegedly PLAAF engaged with EP-3 in SCS earlier 2021.

2021年初, 在美海军 "罗斯福" 号航母打击群进入南海的同时,美军伴随出动E-2C 、P-8A 、EP-3 等多型军机对我国进行抵近侦察。其中1 架EP-3 从巴士海峡进入,自东南向西北飞入南海上空, 一路沿我国领空线飞行;此时,我军1 架运-8G (高新3 号)干扰机立即对这架EP-3 实施定向干扰,成功阻断了其电磁信号收集行动。而在脱离接触前的整个航途中,这架EP-3 始终处在我军包围式伴飞中, 1 架空警-500 和1 架运-9DZ (高新12 号)从左侧对其监控,运-8G 在释放干扰的同时从右侧对其夹击,我军多型特种机还在空警-2000 的指挥协调下对美航母编队、相关空域内的其他美军特种机以及第一岛链的美军地面指挥部的电磁信号实施干扰,形成对美军的大范围电磁压制。此举堪称我军在非战时防空拦截行动中,主动与美军开展电磁对抗的典范。
Rough translation via Deepl:
In early 2021, while the USS Roosevelt carrier strike group entered the South China Sea, the U.S. military deployed E-2C, P-8A, EP-3 and other types of military aircraft to conduct close reconnaissance of China. One of the EP-3s entered from the Bashi Channel and flew from southeast to northwest over the South China Sea, flying along our airspace line; at this time, one of our jammers, Y-8G (Gaoxin 3), immediately carried out directional jamming on the EP-3 and successfully blocked its electromagnetic signal collection operation. The EP-3 was always in our encircling escort during the entire flight before disengaging from contact, with one KJ-500 and one Y-9DZ (Gaoxin 12) monitoring it from the left, and the Y-8G pinning it down from the right while releasing the jamming. Under the command and coordination of the KJ-2000, our special aircraft also interfered with the electromagnetic signals of the U.S. carrier formation, other U.S. special aircraft in the relevant airspace and the U.S. ground command in the first island chain, forming a large-scale electromagnetic suppression of the U.S. forces. This move is an example of our military's initiative to conduct electromagnetic confrontation with U.S. forces in non-war-time air defense interdiction operations.

It looks like this incident.

Just a cool image of KJ-500A.
