China sure likes to add bumps all over its planes/helicopters to accommodate sensors.A new build KJ-200 for PLANAF (from huitong)?
Interesting different paint scheme and tail... seems to be the PLAN's flag?
Ohhh ... where ???

don't know about anything else, but the colour of the number indicates PLAN special missions aircraft. And also, it looks to be a 4 digit number. Other than that, we've seen a photos of PLAN KJ-200 a while ago. I just don't think it was ever fully revealed. I'm sure the regiment is operational by now. If you check scramble's website, you can see it in the 1st independent regiment.
The blue and white strips on the small vert side tail.
Do the tail booms telescope to save space on the carrier? They look too thin to be stiff enough even without that feature.
I think it would make more sense to build a delta winged tailless aircraft to carry the radar antennae and the operators instead of a conventional aircraft with a dish on top. Needs less height below deck, has a low structural weight, plenty of space for crew equipment and fuel and a greater building height for the antennae.
