China’s ‘eyes in the sky’ multiply, India’s surveillance fleet faces a numbers game

Recent satellite imagery indicates that four KJ-3000 Airborne Early Warning aircraft are located at Xi’an Aircraft Company. This suggests that serial production of the aircraft may soon commence, enhancing China’s AEW&C capabilities. The KJ-3000 is based on the Y-20B transport aircraft, aiming to address existing limitations in China’s AEW&C fleet. In comparison, India’s airborne early warning capability remains limited with fewer aircraft currently in service.
