There is no mockup of the Y-30 at present, but it is known that Shaanxi AC has started working on the project since May this year, if not earlier.

Really? I haven't heard any news since several years?

Really? I haven't heard any news since several years?

From the China's transport, tanker and heavy lift aircraft thread last May.

Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation is auctioning for building to research on next-gen medium transport aircraft which has been approved and on early stage of development.

Rumor suggests that the next-gen AEW platform will be named after "KJ-700 and KJ-3000" (not surprising)

The one in the middle is supposed to be the radar for KJ-3000 whereas the left one is for KJ-700.

Comparison before the new one was installed on the left building.

Two KJ-2000s spotted in the background, being (conveniently) blocked by the aircraft tug. Posted by @追风少年小白鲨 on Weibo.

btw, I don't think I saw this getting posted

We have remote sensing version of MA60 here. Just a test platform right now, but a lot of sensors here

combines P L & VHF radar captured 4.6 TB of data on 7 trips. Also carries that huge SAR fairing, 3D Lidar & powerful camera.

There are now at least two MA60 remote-sensing airframes.

Lots of year-end anniversaries lately. This time it's the 11th anniversary of the maiden flight of KJ-500.

What could possibly be the reason behind retiring only a decade old AEW&C ? Anyway, Is there any official statement regarding this from PAF ?

the source of this rumour is a dubious proposition at best

ZDK-03 was in Shaanxi last year going through possible MLU program
