Air Confrontation: China's New Aircraft Will Be a Problem for the USA.
China has developed a new radar detection and reconnaissance aircraft
China has unveiled a new version of its long-range radar detection and reconnaissance aircraft (DRLO) called KJ-3000. The main feature of these aircraft is the large radar located on the fuselage, which allows them to perform reconnaissance missions and act as an air command post.
It is worth noting that in the event of a conflict over Taiwan, Chinese DRLO aircraft could pose a problem for the US military, as they are harder to detect and destroy than their Russian counterparts, the A-50.
China plans to produce a significant number of these aircraft, and they could be more effective in the context of the Taiwan conflict, where setting traps for them would be more difficult.
The US military may face challenges in combating Chinese DRLO aircraft, and they may have to come to terms with these aircraft and lose crucial counteraction capabilities against China in future military actions, according to David Axe.
