The performance of KJ-3000 is extremely terrifying, and its detection capability far exceeds that of any AWACS in the world!
In simple terms, it has three world records: the largest antenna aperture in the world, the most complete detection band in the world, and the most powerful transmission power in the world! Its detection capability is at least three times stronger than that of the previously strongest AWACS!
The detection range for conventional fighters can reach 1500-2000 kilometers, and for new-generation stealth aircraft like B21, the detection range is not less than 500 kilometers!
Therefore, with KJ-3000 deployed within the first island chain, it can continuously detect and warn the Guam airspace and command fighter jets for long-range interception operations!
This capability is unmatched by any other AWACS in the world right now!
Aside from having an incredibly strong radar, the platform of KJ-3000 has also made significant progress! The new Y-20B platform is China's most advanced large transport aircraft. Compared to the Y-9 platform used by KJ-500, its range has increased by 1.7 times, its loitering time has doubled, its cabin space has tripled, and its power supply has quintupled. It is precisely due to the improvement in platform performance that such a powerful radar can be equipped!
