According to experts quoted by the state Global Times newspaper, the KJ-600 will be served as a “last piece” of the jigsaw puzzle to the full warlord of Chinese aircraft carrier groups, strengthening both offensive and defense capabilities.
Military analyst Zhang Xuefeng emphasized that the aircraft can be described as a “power multiplier” for air operations on the carrier. He explained that so far early perceptions have been primarily done by destroyers, frigates and helicopters. However, land and naval radars are limited in identifying low -flying targets due to the curvature of the Earth.
“The main task of the fixed -winged forecasting aircraft is to detect these extremely low flying targets,” Zhang said. He stressed that, unlike helicopters, which have smaller radar and limited operating time, the KJ-600 can carry stronger systems with a longer range and longer operating time.
In addition to strengthening the defense, the aircraft also increases the offensive potential of aircraft carriers. According to Zhang, the KJ-600 can support offensive missions against land and sea targets, even in regions outside the range of terrestrial radars. “These aircraft allow the execution of aerial command operations and significantly increase the offensive of carrier groups,” he said.
With the debut of the KJ-600, China reaches a new level in its naval flight, in line with the exercises already used by military powers that use aircraft carriers as a strategic axis of power projection.
