China's J-16D electronic warfare capabilities attract attention, capable of interfering with U.S. Air Force early warning aircraft systems.

A retired American pilot said that the J-16D can jam the E-2C.

This pilot said in an interview with the U.S. media "The National Interest" that the J-16D can jam and deceive the U.S. early warning aircraft (such as the E-2C), and it can disrupt the radar signals of the E-2C by releasing high-intensity electromagnetic interference.

The J-16D can intercept radar and communication signals through its electronic pods and other equipment, and release high-intensity electromagnetic interference to suppress and interfere with the enemy's radar, communication and other electronic equipment.

During the 2023 U.S. military exercises in the South China Sea, the action was forced to be suspended, which may involve the U.S. shipboard AN/SPY-1 passive phased array radar and the E-2C early warning aircraft, which became "deaf and blind" under the electronic suppression of the J-16D.

The J-16D is an electronic warfare aircraft independently developed by China, equipped with electronic pods such as the KG-600 and RKZ-930, which have full-bandwidth interference capabilities and can precisely interfere with the radar that has a certain collaborative working relationship with the United States.
