According to the US Strategic Page website on November 13, China has developed and produced several new electronic warfare aircraft. Although some of them use twin-engine civil aircraft, most use the Chinese version of the US C-130 transport aircraft. The latest version is the Yun-9 transport aircraft, which will complement and replace the earlier Yun-8 aircraft later. As electronic warfare aircraft, they are called the Yun-8G and the Yun-9G aircraft respectively. The first three new aircraft produced have entered the Navy as the -9G ELINT aircraft (ELINT is the English abbreviation for "electronic intelligence"). At present, there are more than 20 -8G electronic warfare aircraft in active service, and the -9G will supplement these aircraft and eventually replace them.
Recently, netizens draw high-definition CG photos to look forward to the future of the Universiade. Yun 20 service solved the history of the Chinese Air Force's lack of large-scale domestic transport aircraft, which enhanced the PLA's long-distance rapid delivery capability.
In addition to transportation, the huge fuselage of the Yun 20 can also be converted into an early warning aircraft and an aerial tanker. These two are also the bottleneck equipment of the PLA's combat power. Previously, due to the lack of an aerial platform, there was no technology but no product.
The Chinese Air Force and the Navy currently have about 30 electronic warfare aircraft based on the Yun-8 and Yun-9 aircraft. At least 11 of them were used for electronic intelligence purposes, including an increasing number of Yun-8GX5 early warning aircraft. They also have an Air Police-200 AWACS aircraft that are dispatched to the South China Sea and coastal areas to perform missions.
According to the report, the number of Chinese early warning aircraft is almost the same as that of the United States, but the performance of its electronic equipment and the crew's experience are not keeping up with the United States, and although these aircraft are similar to the C-130 aircraft, their reliability is not as good as the latter. All of these problems are slowly being resolved. Although China's details of its electronic equipment on electronic warfare aircraft remain confidential, the details of the development of these transport aircraft are often public.
For example, China began testing the new Yun-9 transport aircraft in 2011, and the aircraft entered service in 2012. Yun-9's design work began in 2001, but its manufacturers encountered personnel and quality control issues, and the design work was shelved a few years later. This work was restarted in 2009 and was completed very quickly. The Yun-9 is an aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 77 tons and designed by China and driven by four turboprops. It can carry 25 tons (or load 9 2.7x2.3 meters pallets, or 132 airborne troops). It has 4 crew members with a cruising speed of 650 km/h and a maximum range of 7,800 km.
According to the report, the Yun-9 aircraft is basically an extended version of the 61-ton Yun-8F-200 aircraft, and the Yun-8F-200 aircraft is a replica of China's Russian-Innian aircraft. Like the US C-130, An-12 was developed in the 1950s and is still used by civilian cargo airlines around the world. About 1,200 An-12 aircraft were built between 1957 and 1973, and about 100 aircraft-8 were produced after 1981. More than 2,400 C-130 aircraft have been produced so far.
The report said that China wants to reduce its dependence on Russia on the transport plane. It noticed the success of the latest version of the C-130 aircraft, the C-130J. (The C-130J has a maximum takeoff weight of 79 tons, a crew of 3 people, can carry 33 tons, or load 8 pallets or 92 airborne troops.) Its cruising speed is 644 km / h, the maximum range is 7,400 km . China used to use the civilian version of the C-130 aircraft in the past, so there are currently aviation experts in the country who are familiar with the design of the aircraft.
China recently launched the Yun-20 aircraft, which is very similar to the US C-17 aircraft. China may not need to use the -20 aircraft to perform electronic warfare missions because the current trend is to use smaller aircraft (such as twin-engine transport aircraft such as the Boeing 737) or large drones. The reason for this is that electronic devices and other sensors are getting smaller and cheaper, so there is no need for large manned aircraft.
