Anyone with an idea what type this is? The one standing besides the KJ-200H?
Nosewise it must be a KJ-500 but the radome is missing.... or was it deleted?
Maybe it's just deactivated, airframe in the middle of repairs or something? So they put the radar in storage rather than have it exposed to nature?

Maybe it is a successor to the Y-8T? -
For the moment I have another idea/theory: This is in fact a KJ-500 and even more interesting, the first assigned to the Northern TC's 2nd Naval Air Division.
... and in order to hide that - all other naval KJ-500s are assigned to the 9th NAD - the radome was erased via photoshop.
Just an idea.

What’s even more annoying is no serial ??
Indeed ... you know me quite well and exactly another hint that this image was manipulated.

The tree line does look a bit smudgy.

Most likely
Y8J and KJ200 together at 2nd division 4th air regiment, also included is a KJ500H 9xx1?
We have never seen that before
9th division has the Y-8Q and Y9JB together with KJ500H 85x9x
It could mean 9th division has 4 units and now 2nd division ends up with 4 also
Those Shaanxi units must be getting distributed
8 x KJ500 for PLAAF
8 x KJ500H for PLAN

The error pattern in the place where the rotordome is supposed to be is distinctly different and at orthogonal orientation to the rest of the picture. It can basically be confirmed that the picture was PS'd.
