Has this video been posted before? KJ-3000 in flight.

Not sure if the actual video is real.
It looks like someone took an image still of KJ-3000 and used AI to create a "moving video".

Considering the original weibo source (lyman) and the twitter account (gaofrank) are both dodgy and not exactly of reputable nature when conveying accurate and representative PLA information, I would be suspicious unless there were more credible first hand accounts on weibo that posted the video first.

I read online that Probe-and-drogue approach to aerial refueling doesn't work well on the big planes since those planes need a lot more fuel and Probe-and-drogue approach cannot supply that much fuel per second. That's why US air force uses the flying boom approach to refueling.

Does that mean Chinese approach to aerial refueling will not work on planes like the KJ-500 and H-6 bombers?
