Need to wait for new CJ-1000 and WS-20 powered aircraft base to receive electronic warfare and AEW/AWAC versions. Y-20 will become upgraded to carry some electronic weapons and sensors but with much more power than Y-8 and Y-9 planes. Il-76 now totally replaced. Next step is KJ-2000 next generation using Y-20 as basis.

KJ-2000, KJ-500, KJ-200, KJ-600 and upgraded types of these are good but we can and must do better. EW, ECM, ECCM, Signals processing, anti-submarine, satellite relay type aircraft are all world's leading now. Only USA have more and better. Japan has some good ones due to navy requirements but not many at all and all American technology. Our's can be improved when this equipment makes way to plane with much more powerful engines.
