KJ-2000 AEW&C

Y20 variant?

Y20 variant?

Nope ... based on the Il-76MD

I hope the next generation of AEW will be based on the CR929 aircraft. C919 is still a bit small for that task. It's also been a decade since KJ2000 was introduced to service. I think a new generation of AEW should be in the design stages.

Does anyone have a loiter time for the il76 based awacs?

Is this radar the same as the one on the KJ-500?

Nope, the one used by the KJ-500 developed by the 38th Institute and utilizes the new digital array radar technology is smaller but more modern than the one used by the KJ-2000, which was developed by Nanjing Research Institute of Electronic Technology/14th Institute.

But i guess that apart from the radar, both aircrafts are XAC's

IL-76 is Soviet/ Russia.

IL-76 is Soviet/ Russia.

Yeah but i guess they didn't just buy it as it is from Ilyushin. They made some modifications...but now i see these modifications were probably made at CETC for the radar and that's it.

All of the modifications and tests were made by China.

When Y-20 variant is coming out

When Y-20 variant is coming out

China is building a large number of KJ-500 using Y-9. So the Y-20 variant is not in the great need.

 

[Imran Khan]
