Are these kind of helos really operational with the PLAN or the PLAAF? If so, how many of them and what is your base?

i think the pictures of the radome clearly show that it's non-rotating
you can see the triangular phased array from the outline of the ellipsoid
btw, does any have any cartoons or real pictures of the hardware for the antenna
thanks
I was talking about the ZDK-03, not the KJ-2000.
zdk-03 may not included Chinese equivalent of JTIDS,this is highly classified equipment.has it fell into the US,it could allow US (or India) to "read" it in real time.
to date , JTIDS is still consider highly classified equipment,and outside of NATO, few countries are allowed to purchased JTIDS.

Can anyone tell if this is a PS? It supposedly shows a Y-8 carrying a KJ-2000 AESA... Which would indicate the PLAAF isn't waiting for the availability for more Il-76 or Y-20s to convert to KJ-2000.
Regardless it's probably a PS.
Just for funsies, here's a land based AESA which I think is part of the HQ-9 land based system.
It is very similar to the Israeli Green Pine system, used in conjunction with their Arrow BMD system.

It does not look 'right'.

That pic does look off for some reason but there are Y-8s with dishes. Didn't they just sell them to Pakistan?
sorry, then i think it rotates, i think someone earlier mentioned
that you can tell by the stripe orientation, some pictures have it pointing fwd and others have it to the side
the ZDK-03 sure looks the E-3 Sentry that rotates with a rotary coupler
Yeah, but that was ZDK-03, the rotating version. That (probable ps) pic shows a KJ-2000 style one... if it's real it has some interesting implications for the medium term future of the Il-76 based KJ-2000.
Yes -- what I was interested in was if the ZDK-03 used a mechanically rotating AESA radar, because the article I put up in post 548 says ZDK-03 has AESA...
