>>63871147 >You would think PLAN would came up with a new air frames foh the work rather a another version of classic E-2? They have no experience making this platform, and the American design is tried and tested. Reinventing the wheel would've been a bad choice.
>>63871147 It has a huge front facing radar on top having the radar plate, and also has a more spacious cabine for the crew compared to the OG Hawkeye.

>>63871194 Yes but it also means the PLA is always a step behind at most. The USN knows these designs and knows their weaknesses. Copying US designs is fine if you just want to bully Vietnam but once you start saber rattling at the US you've got to step up your game.

>>63871147 they actually tried to make something different and has they improved the design, it looked more and more like the Hawkeye. I saw an article online about it with the pictures of the earlier designs but I don't remember where.
