The early warning aircraft is an aircraft specially used in combat to search for and monitor air or sea targets, and to conduct targeted command, early warning and air control for our operations. In the modern air combat system, the early warning aircraft is an indispensable link, known as the multiplier of fighter combat, which can easily change the direction of the war.

The development process of China's early warning aircraft is a very difficult and tortuous road. Before 2002, the early warning aircraft in the Chinese Air Force system were all imported and purchased, and the sense of existence was not strong. However, during the Taiwan Strait crisis, the United States sold the most advanced E-2T early warning aircraft to the Taiwan region at that time, and this transaction doubled Taiwan's military strength and made us very worried. After that, China sought Israel's help, hoping that Israel could sell the early warning aircraft to us, but this time it was still disrupted by the United States, and under the pressure of the United States, Israel had to stop trading. At that time, there was still a way to seek a Russian sale, but our country was determined to develop its own early warning aircraft.

This early warning aircraft research and development project, known as "Project No. 1," is also known as a milestone project in China's national defense field after the "two bombs and one satellite" project. After some research and training, China has successfully developed two very successful models, the air police -200 and the air police = 2000.
However, we have also encountered setbacks, and many people will remember that fourteen years ago, an Air Police-200 early warning aircraft crashed in Guangde County, Anhui Province, and according to the later investigation, the cause of the accident was because the wings of the aircraft were frozen and caused by loss of control, there were 35 air force experts on the plane, and a valuable set of early warning system equipment was also destroyed in this accident.

In the past ten years, with the development of the economy, China's industrial level has also been rising. At the same time, the unpredictable international situation and the constantly refined needs are all calling for the birth of a new generation of early warning aircraft. According to relevant media reports, China's new generation of early warning aircraft air police-3000 or will be transformed from the Y-20, the strength of the Y-20 itself is beyond doubt, the function of the air police-3000 will be three times more than the air police -2000. For example, the Air Police-3000 is equipped with a digital array radar system and an X-band radar array according to the needs of the new era, which can better detect and warn the fifth generation of stealth fighters.
Before the advent of the Air Police-3000, the Air Police-500 radar was the most advanced, while the Air Police-2000 had the strongest comprehensive strength. But the Air Police-2000 was transformed with the Il-76, and our country no longer wants to be subject to people. Fortunately, the Air Police-300 made up for both shortcomings and carried forward the advantages. After the Air Police-3000 is put into service, it is presumable that the strength of our air force will be greatly enhanced!
