KJ-600 carrierborne AEWC thread

[Deino]

Interesting, and even in September 2019 - at a time we had no clear image of the KJ-600 yet - a COD variant was discussed.

Also, the other red circle above seems to be a KJ-600 mock-up!

Judging by the longer wing-looking structures (at 3) placed behind the supposed fuselage mockup of the aircraft (at 2), it seems very likely that said aircraft fuselage belongs to a KJ-600 mockup, if not that of a Chinese C-2-counterpart (though less likely IMO).

The JL-10J fuselage mockup is located at 1, for reference.

The V shaped recess and the tailhook are quite noticeable in this picture

Well hello there... A new semi-clear close up of the KJ-600?

It's probably not an April fools joke because the tail is taller on the top side.

Edit: however the turboprops don't match... So maybe it as an April fools joke?

I'm not sure if you posted it with intent as a joke, but that's very clearly a E-2, identifiable even with the deliberate obfuscation by the op.
