KJ-600 carrierborne AEWC thread & possible KY-600 (?) COD aircraft

One more.

Self-explanatory.

Not only one or two more, but in fact the first images showing a KJ-600 with the PLA-symbol on the rear fuselage & no longer prototype numbers!

A hint (like the NA J-35 shown) that it is also in service now?

So are these latest KJ-600 pictures showing brand new series airframes or older prototypes handed over to PLANAF? Are there any small differences compared to the prototypes?

As long as a construction number is not visible, it‘s hard to know.

Two more. The 2nd image is a better version of a recently shared one.

Another one of a serial/in-service KJ-600.

"Cute" and deadly-we are essentially looking at a PLAN CV kill-chain aircrafts with AWACS/EW/fighters with BVRAAM's-loving it.In service too.

The only thing missing is PL-17 on J-15T to match the AIM-174 on SH.

More high-resolution images.

Can anyone read or see a construction or H-number?
