PLANAF/PLAAF showing what it could look like if they tried to kick the door down through the Luzon Strait. Drones. AEWs. EW/C3s.
First, a PLA Wing Loong II MALE UAV conducting maritime ISR through the Balintang Channel.
🇨🇳 YILO4300 is using hex code #7A2DCC
Following 20 minutes later is a KJ-500(A?) AEW, likely from 20th Air Division, 60th Regiment.
🇨🇳 JUN31115 is suspected KJ-500(A) 31115 #7A442A
Right behind the AEW are previously suspected H-6G EW/C3 bomber conversions from 8th Bomber Division, 23rd Aviation Regiment out of Guiping/Mengshi AB, Guangxi Province. The H-6G formation splits and passes through the Bashi and Balintang Channels simultaneously. FR24 lists them as HY-6 tankers. I had previously said that was a possibility, but I had doubts.
#7A2EAB #7A2EAD #7A2EAF
Lastly, a Y-20 is seen following the H-6G Balintang Channel formation. I suspect this to be a tanker, but I don't know which variant.
