China is unlikely to use the KJ-2000 or KJ-200 as airborne early warning (AEW) aircrafton its first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, due to weight, size, and other factors. TheLiaoning needs a type of medium-sized AEW aircraft that do not occupy much space,military expert Du Wenlong said in an interview with China Central Television on Jan. 19.
Another military expert Li Li said that an AEW variant of the Xian Y-7 is probably beingtested for use as AEW aircraft on the Liaoning, but it still faces problems concerningwing folding and hangar capacity.
Du said that the existing KJ-2000 or KJ-200 is not the suitable AEW aircraft for theLiaoning. Carrier-based AEW aircraft must features light weight and small size, whilethe two models of AEW aircraft are too heavy. The KJ-2000 weighs more than 100tons. The KJ-200 weighs dozens of tons, and has a relatively big size. Carrier-basedAEW aircraft should have a small size, and occupy small space because every inch ofspace on an aircraft carrier is extremely valuable. The Liaoning needs a type ofmedium-sized AEW aircraft which can combat in coordination with the J-15 or the next-generation carrier-based aircraft, so as to form a sound maritime attacking anddefense system.
Will the Y-7 variant be used as AEW aircraft on the Liaoning? Li explained that the Y-7weighs over 20 tons, and meets the first criterion for carrier-based AEW aircraft.However, some other basic factors also deserve attention. The variant must havefolding wings to become carrier-based AEW aircraft, but it is difficult to convert theY-7's conventional wings into folding wings. Furthermore, the variant must be smallenough to fit into the Liaoning's hangar, but the Y-7 has a higher height than mostother domestic fighter planes. China is probably doing related tests, and can try tosolve problems concerning the catapult. If these problems are solved, the size of AEWaircraft will not be a bother anymore.
Du said that the Liaoning is carrying out training to use helicopters as AEW aircraft forthe moment, and it is hard to say whether it will continue like this. It is acceptable ifChina uses AEW helicopters on the Liaoning to combat in coordination with othercarrier-based fighter planes, but carrier-based AEW aircraft had better be fixed-wing,so the scope, height, and accuracy of surveillance will meet the military's requirements.

Try attending a Jinaza like this and then you will know what it means to be in a war ! What it means to pray over your fallen friends who had fought alongside you in battles. The families of our sons and brothers in armed forces are doing this everyday -- leaving behind thousands of orphans, widows and old grieving parents. This is a war our haramkhor politicians do not want to acknowledge. Elections in these times of war would mean more deaths, destruction and chaos. Then there will be no time for tauba, just punishments. Wake up now before it is too late.

A carrier based AEW, fixed-wing (albeit folding), is a must for PLAN-AF. A aircraft platform for allows greater range, mobility and safety. Hopefully China would be able to convert the Y-7 aircraft into an Carrier-AEW. Otherwise they would have design an aircraft from scratch and that can take up valuable time. Also, it is important for China to design all Carrier based aircraft in a way, whereby all aircraft conform to the planned Aircraft-Carriers for PLAN-AF.
