yes 4 were ordered@nomi007 is it the one which we ordered from China
This one is not ours, this is the on which China is making for its ownself. And it seems to be different then ours, first notice the grey stripe, seems to be an extra set of ECM system, which ours lack, plus the Chinese being labelled as KJ-500 seems to have a 3 sided AESA radar arrangement. We have two sided or may be 1 sided radar configuration. Both different platforms.
ZDK-03 is a PESA while even the older Chinese kj-200 is a AESA,this new Kj-500 is a aesa with 3 aesa radar arrangement.

We bought 4 ZDK-03 for just 270million dollars.while the cost of each saab 2000 was more than 200million dollars.One can now guess the difference between the cost and capabilities.
Why we bought PESA configuration? when china had AESA available and if this is below the capabilities of our Erieye than how it will handle advance EW and related capabilities of India?

here for convenience of newbies
yes saab 2000 is s band aesa
zdk-03 will not even stand against the drdo awacs which has s-band aesa too like eriye.
The ZDK-03 has a vertical scan AESA.. i.e. its scan only is active vertically. But as such it is longer ranged but inferior in scan resolution than the Erieye.
Face it, our military is out of cash and out of options..
radar is AESA housed in a rotating disk thus has full 360 deg sanning which Erieye lacks, search range is more than Erieye but radar scan speed maybe inferior to the latter, it seems to have good sea state (multiple modes) scanning capability which is why it usually roams around the coast. Night time patrolling indicates it has a capable night vision suite as well.
