You cannot pick up tech from an electronic intellience planes and fit it on an AEW/AWACS. Also I don't remember Russia or any other country has a solid nose An-12 being used for AEW/AWCAS purposes. So it may well be Chinese

no, i meant they studied the technology on board the crashed plane and made some equipment out of it. obviously no one would rip the electronics off a crashed plane and put them in another

Dude, the codes aren't that easy to get.

I think it's just the radome on the KJ-2000 put on top of the Y-8.
As for why the hav 2 designs, competition?
China is probably going to try and squeeze the most capable system onto the smallest plane possible. China do need transports like the Il-76 you know.

AFAIK, the EP-3 Aries II that emergency landed in '01 did NOT have an radardome on top of it...
Its the P-3 AEW that has an radardome on top of it:

yup. the customs service can use awacs to call in f-16s at anytime to shoot down contraband cargo planes. it can call in f-18s to fire harpoons at ships.
