Chinese Navy may need few KJ-600 (MA-60) derivatives for carried based air refueling tankers.

I think this is the firsr time that I have seen the exhaust duct of the engine of KJ600 from behind. Jet exhaust from a turboprop normally accounted for less than 10% of the thrust, the propellers contributed above 90%.

The low thrust of the jet exhaust is because jet engines do not perform efficiently at low speed and low altitude.
