KJ-600 carrierborne AEWC thread

[mys_721tx]

I don't believe these have been revealed before. Apparently, this is a photo taken at a handover ceremony for the Carrier AWACs test platform, which according to the second photo, took place on August 13th, 2009.

The words on the backdrop translates roughly as "Handover ceremony for the critical technology demonstrator for the carrier-borne early warning platform". At least that's what I think is the gist. However, I'm unsure about certain technical terms employed here.

Here's the somewhat literal translation just for kicks: "Carrier-borne AWACs platform critical technologies verification prototype, intense(?) experimental aircraft handover ceremony".

It's the delivery of a structural test article of the prototype aircraft. Although confusingly it did not use the term "舰载" for carrier-bourne. "海上" literally means maritime and couple Gaoxin projects aircraft could fit that description.

regarding this:

这个照片有年头了，还是那个验证机，。。。。。。。

正主进入实体机制造阶段。 也是快了

Translation: "This is an old photo, and this is a technology demonstrator. [It] has entered the manufacturing stage, which should be quick."

On another note, the designation seems to be H600, not "KJ-600" as previously assumed.

At first, i was thinking: finally a prototype. Then, i realized that its the mockup that is sitting in the carrier mockup in wuhan for a year and a half now. Nothing new here.

Nothing new on the KJ-600 but there is at least a new J-15 mock-up installed. Maybe a J-15D/J-17??

Its another j-15 mock-up in the carrier mock-up. As for if it is j-15D/J-17 or not, well its a mock-up after all. Not terribly accurate, and besides the photo doesnt have enough details for us to conclude anything, IMO.

To check interference from the "Chinese Growler" with ship radar? Than it is a mock-up, but has real electronics installed?

 

[Deino]

Yes, but why another J-15 mock up? ... there must be a reason?
