Satellite images of the day: Eight KJ-500 AWAC spotted at Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation in Hanzhong

The first KL-500 entered China Air Force service in early 2015 after a successful export to Pakistan as the ZDK-03. The first Pakistan ZDK-03 rolled out of production in Hanzhong on Nov 2010, based on the older Y8F-400 medium size medium range transport aircraft platform. A total of four ZDK-03 are now in service with the Pakistan Air Force.

The China Air Force's own is based on the newer Y-9
