欧洲人为什么认为中国的预警机领先美国？

《外交事务》杂志还提到，中国已经超过美国的另一个在尖端领域是空中远程预警和指挥系统飞机。此类飞机是强大的力量倍增器，可为空军和联合部队提供远程的广域雷达覆盖。中国已经配备此类先进装备，并还在不断生产。

Another area in which China’s high-end capabilities are already outstripping those of the United States is in airborne long-range early warning and command system (AWACS) aircraft. These aircraft are huge force multipliers because they provide air forces and joint forces with long-range, wide-area radar coverage for early warning, battlespace management, and targeting. The PLA already has roughly 60 modern AWACS, all equipped with the latest active electronically scanned array-type radars and advanced data link and satellite communications capabilities to act as network nodes. More are being produced each year.
