Not sure if these aircraft have been handed over the PAF, but that’s a common colour of newly assembled aircraft in places like China and Russia prior to formal delivery.

Give me a break—Chicom AWACS is only as effective as peace time allows.

American military technicians have war gamed AWACS from the Vietnam War til now and even if Clinton gave China the airborne technology along with our nuclear warhead and missile guidance secrets for campaign cash—communists cannot create they can only copy.

So their AWACS capabilities are so 80s and thus so week and vulnerable to America's 21st Century state of the art highest tech electronic countermeasures.

Because our president is a patriot...

What am I saying?

That's the zinc chromate coating on the aircraft. It inhibits corrosion. The plane hasn't been painted in it's final colors yet.
