PLA AEW&C, SIGINT, EW and MPA thread

one shortcoming of KJ-200 is that since asingle antenna only has a 80 deg scan ( back issue of miltech),it means there are 40 deg. blind spot in front and rear.
israel G-550 and Wedgetail AWACS added addional 2 radar, one in front and one in the back to provide 360 deg. cover.
the two small antenna maybe connected to chinese version of JTIDS.

On huitong's page it says the Kj-200 has smaller nose and tail arrays which provide 360 cover.

the small nose is part of data distribution system.or Chinese equivalent to link-16.
second, i not notice any ESM antenna.
possible improve version may be in the horizon.

this is an interesting part. Basically says that the plane takeoff weight increased from 61 ton to 65 ton. The wings are changed to improve the endurance.

They've made a lot of improvements to avionic system including the display and made system digital. The engine also improved from delivering 4250 hp to 5000 hp which really improved aircraft's performance in high altitude and high temperature condition. The propeller is self designed. They have now developed the technology for composite material in turboprop propellers

首先是将飞机的性能优很大的提高，从61吨提升到65吨，机翼改为整体板，航时提高了很大，可以满足用户的要求。
　　采用了航天综合系统，也就是常说的，将飞机所有的飞行指引进行集中的显示，将飞行控制和航油进行综合的显示，采用了数字化系统，提高刹车效率，同时对发动机进行了比较大的改进，发动机由4250马力提升到5000马力，可以大大的提高飞机的高原高温特性，螺旋桨是完全我们自己研制的，通过空警200的研制工作，掌握了复合材料和螺旋桨的制造技术，大的整体臂板的加工和密封技术，同时也掌握了大的系统集成，同时在运输机上也实现了可拟自动操作，使飞机的舒适性、飞行员的操纵负荷减少，飞机改革了80%，打破了原来的平台，因此其中有很多关键的技术，例如总体启动发动机一体化设计，综合集成、电子兼容、动力装置，如何使提高功率等等有很大的提高，通过全国的行业，各类技术人员的攻关，我们在7年内将这些问题都解决了，在这里非常感谢团队，感谢上级各级领导对团队的关心和培养。

when will PAF ZDK-03 AWACS become operational?surely one question arise, if ZDK-03 become operational it could track predator attack drone.and giving the connection between taliban and pakistan military establisment ,it possible it could provide them advance early warning to the taliban(or al queda) .

more KJ-200. We finally see them serving for the navy. I've been reading about KJ-200 providing targeting information for Type 022s, so I'm not too surprised that we finally see them in service.

We see 9371 in the picture, but there is at least another balance beam in the background. I presume that this is going to be a regiment of 4 like the other AWACS regiments.

I can see 4 vertical tail-fins in the picture after the first Y-8F200 which is clearly not a KJ-200. For the 2 in the front, we can definitely see balance beams. The latter 2 are painted in the same colour as the Y-8F200 rather than grey like the 2 KJ-200s, so I'd assume that they are not KJ-200. Any thoughts?

Hmm ... Is this confirmed (or maybe psed ?)

Besides that, if anyone's interested .... in the current issue (+ critics are always wellcome).
