Imagine a special Chinese plane that’s all about watching and keeping an eye on things from the sky. This airplane first took off in 2003 and it’s designed to use radar to track fighter planes and missiles. It can spot fighters from up to 470 meters away and missiles from as far as 1,200 meters.
That’s like being able to see things that are pretty far away! And in 2013, they even upgraded it to a new version with super-advanced radar. So, it’s like having a high-tech airplane that’s like a flying radar station, helping to keep an eye on what’s happening in the skies and making sure everyone is safe.
