six large shelters? and then four balance beams parked outside? (shadows give them away)

so is that 4 or 6 or more balance beams for the navy?

and if so, at this rate planaf may end up getting as many awacs planes as plaaf. how come?

That was nice! The satellite image (not GE, at least I cannot see it) must be earlier than picture 1, where four shelters are seen to be completed. On the satellite image, only the two built in 2009 are complete.

Which explains why four Y-8W (GX5) are in the open - they are simply there while their shelters are being completed. We can safely count on two being under the shelters.

That means that there are now six Y-8W (9371 - 9421) in the former 1 Ind Avn Regt at Laiyang, now 2 Naval Avn Div 4 Regt.

The other three planes must be Y-8J, of which there are four at Laiyang.

looks like at least 3 new PLAAF KJ-200s in there. I assumed that the PLAN KJ-200 regiment would already have 4. Are you sure they only have 3?

 

[Totoro]

so one kj2000 regiment in plaaf, one kj200 regiment in plaaf and two kj200 regiemnts in planaf? which two would those be?

All naval Y8J and KJ200 belong to PLANAF 1st Ind Reg at Laiyang.
