Word on the street is that the 3rd ZDK-03 is due to be handed to the Pakistan air force soon, a team from Pakistan is in China for the hand over

Would that be based on Masroor AFB also??
is China working on E-8 type battlefield surveillance aircraft? (KJ-3000?)
while this may be speculation,but huitong claim a single TU-154 surveillance aircraft carry SAR,can perform "limited" SAR/MTI operation.
and since majority of PLA wish list were mirror image of pentagon weapon procurement program.I am not be surprise if chinese version E-8 type appear in the web.since the available technology already exist.

Interesting...but there is nothing new in that article in terms of pictures that we haven't already seen.
The only aircraft shown in the pics with its engines running was an E-2C Hawkeye of the US Navy.
If they have done so, I am anxious to see the photos of one flying. And will believe it even more, when I see one practising landing and taking off from the props at the Chinese Naval Aviation Center.
Well it is the only one that has a radar mounted in that fashion.
The US Navy P-8 mounts a , while the Indian P-8I will have an international version of that same radar.
The JMSDF P-1 has a Toshiba HPS-106 Active Electronically Scanned Array air & surface search radar with four antennae arrays.
The latest US Navy P-3s have a AN/APS-137B(V)5 Radar, which is a pre-cursor to the APY-10 Radar on the P-8.
中国“预警机之父”王小谟院士年初接受采访时曾表示，中国的下随着具备隐身性能的飞机、战舰、巡航导弹、反辐射导弹等的逐步普及，预警机不仅面对着更复杂的战场环境，同时，自身受到的威胁也日趋严重。美军已有人开始评估，F-22凭借隐身和超音速巡航的“超能力”，关闭自身雷达，向空警-2000冲刺到有效射程内偷袭，在战场上是否可行。
在此形势下，提高预警机雷达对隐身目标探测、识别与跟踪能力，就成为亟需解决的问题
一代预警机的设计目标，是能发现F-22这样的隐形目标.
AWACS program Chieft engineer next gen. of AWACS will emphasis counter stealth capability.according to the article F-22 stealthness allow F-22 to attack KJ-2000.
back issue of air international. during the 80's USAF stage mock combat a between F-119 and E-3A.the E-3A was escorted by 4 F-15A. but F-119 manage to "shoot down" E-3a 15 times.with out being detected by f-15A or AWACS.
during the desert storm, E-3C radar operator complain that they unable to detect F-119 Nighthawk.forcing F-119 to carry reflector.
it is likely that PLAAF also stage similiar mock combat between J-20 and KJ-2000.

I think you mean the F-117 because there is no such thing as F-119 unless you're talking the turbofan. Also F-117 AFAIK do not carry AAMs, guns etc nor does it have external pylons so I'm not sure how it would shoot down anything. If someone fashion an external pylon for the F-117s to carry AIM-9s than for sure AWACS would detect it since the external pylons would not be stealthy.
As to the general statement of your post I do agree that the USAF did use the F-117s in exercises against AWACS and I do remember reading somewhere about the E3s not seeing them on screen.
Since the 1980s there has been a question about the F-19 designation and rumors of a never admitted to fighter, developed by the Lockheed skunk works, that was operational in very limited numbers.
Perhaps that is what they are talking about.
But it has never been taked about, admitted to, or described officially.
Most rumors, and supposed inside "leaks" say it looks like this:
A couple of model companies even made 1/72 scalle models of it in the latter 1980s.
