Satellite images obtained last month from western China show the People’s Liberation Army apparently practicing for attacks on U.S. electronic warfare planes and aircraft carriers, according to a private intelligence company.
The company Allsource Analysis stated in a report made public Thursday that a satellite image from the desert in Xinjiang, western China, shows two mockups of what appear to be U.S. E-2 Hawkeye airborne warning and control aircraft.
Other warplanes have been spotted as targets in the past but not the E-2, which is a critical command-and-control aircraft for coordinating aircraft carrier strikes.
Outlines of the carrier-based propeller planes were spotted on the ground along with mockups of two aircraft carrier targets and one warship target.
