No more yellow, all new planes use green paint now. Interesting.

Only naval ones. The J-20 new variants and build are all still in yellow for example.

Ah, you are right. I forgot the J-20S.

I am waiting for Chinese answer to P-8 Posedion.

What about Pakistan’s answer to P-8 Posedion

Finally ... If not again a PS-job, this is the so far clearest image of one of the KJ-600 prototypes and as it seems in parts this particular image was already posted before, albeit with parts blurred out. However I'm a bit surprised by the visible serial number #7106.

Is there a COD version of this aircraft?

to balance a radar on the top of such a small aircraft and then land and take of from a Carrier while sailing in the Ocean is nothing short of a space program

Soviets tried it and failed only US has been able to do this

and now China

IMO the best images of the new PLAN NA carrier-borne AEW type, the KJ-600 and as it seems, the first time a bit clearer showing the grey painted aircraft.
The question remains, were these images indeed taken this November and is it the same grey aircraft we know since October 2021?
