China is pushing “the tremendous plane to Egypt … what is going on?

Follow-up-Al-Zawiya Net-The tremendous KJ-500 plane participated in the maneuvers in Egypt between the army of the two countries, where the KJ-500 was developed by Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation and based on the Y-9 structure, and it features a radar system capable of discovering different targets, including planes with low cross section of radar such as American ghosts F-22 RAPTOR and F-35 Lightning II.

The KJ-500 is about 34 meters and its wing extends with a length of 38 meters, and it represents a great progress in the air warning and air control systems in China. It is more sophisticated than previous models such as KJ-20000 and integrates multi-stage digital radar technology (ISA), allowing continuous 360-degree angle coverage. The plane has a ST-6C turbocharged engines designed by Zhuzhou Southern Aviation Engine, generates 3800 kW, and supports a top flying speed of 550 km per hour. With a range of 5700 km and a flight up to 12 hours, the KJ-500 expanded its operating range within the Chinese air defense network. Its radar can track 60 to 100 goals within a 470 -km radius, providing appropriate capabilities to determine hidden, high -speed and mapal goals.

The KJ-500, equipped with a three-electronic wooled radar (AESA), works with a fixed radar dome, allowing complete coverage without a rotating radar. This setting differs from the “balance beam” group in the KJ-200, which enhances the scope of detection and efficiency. Thanks to digital developments and lighter materials, the KJ-500 plane gradually replaced the old AEW & C models in the Air Force for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, whose production stopped in 2018. These features are enhancing the rates of update of target data and improving flexibility against electronic interference, and supporting operations in difficult environments.

AEW & C in China has evolved greatly, starting with KJ-1 in the 1960s and progress through KJ-20000 and KJ-200 mutations in the early twenty-first century. The KJ-500 operating in the AEW & C infrastructure in China and operates along with combat assets, such as the Chengdu J-20 fighter plane, to expand the scope of driving and control in long-range air clashes. According to General Kenneth Wilsbach of the US Air Force in the Pacific Ocean, KJ-500 plays a decisive role in supporting long-range air-to-air missiles, which confirms its importance in the Air Force Air Force’s strategy for the Chinese Liberation Army over the stretching distances.

In addition to the standard KJ-500, the Air Force for the Popular Liberation Army deployed a naval version, the KJ-500H, which is run by the Naval Air Force for the Popular Liberation Army to monitor and control maritime areas. This alternative reflects the normative approach to China towards early warning and control aircraft, and capacity adaptation to specific branches. Another version, KJ-500A, was presented in 2020, includes a fuel probe while flying, which increases its endurance for long tasks.

Internally, the KJ-500 features a cabin design aimed at reducing the crew’s work burden. Liquid crystal displays, communications systems and standard data processing improve the operational environment, while comfort areas support the performance of the crew during long trips. The various antennas on the fuselage facilitate satellite communications, allowing integration with the Chinese air defense network.

The KJ-500 radar system is formed to detect a wide range of goals, including those with low radar crosses. Its AESA radar supports a high update rate, providing capabilities of hidden targets, as well as fast -moving and maneuvering aircraft. With a maximum detection of 470 km, the radar is designed to counter threats of chrome and low -height cruise missiles, and to process large amounts of data without losing signal.

Recent reports indicate that China has developed its radar technology to enhance the discovery of American hidden aircraft, such as F-22 RAPTOR and F-35 Lightning II. According to some Chinese scientists developed radar systems using the Beidou satellite network, which is able to turn into alternative networks such as GPS, Galileo or Glonass in the event of confusion. Studies also explore the use of electromagnetic disorders of drones and satellites from satellite groups such as Starlink to detect hiding. These developments indicate the continuous development of radar capabilities in China, which may affect the operating scene of hidden planes in the disputed areas.
