Good work China
So are they going to place them on Varyag or a future aircraft carrier.
Not the Vayag because it is a piece of sh1t skii jumper that cannot launch fixed wing AEW. Hopefully the next carrier has catapult.

It looks like a chinese AEW ??? this looks too much like an E-2 Hawkeye !!!
It does from the back, but look at the front, the engines seems like a jet instead of propeller type engine.

They don't, but the fact that the AEW plane is in China, parked behind a chinese J-10.. doesn't make it a chinese AEW.
it looks like an E-2, it has the dimensions of an E-2 and if it is in china, it probably means china got their hands on one from somewhere...
get it now ?
Looks like a Chinese carrier-based fixed wing AEW

which photo exactly looks like the plane has jet engines ?
Would having a jet engine make it more likely to be able to take off from a ski jump?
On that first photo. See that sort of double stack cylinder tube like structure beneath the wing?

I would assume so, because speed is a requirement to get enough air pressure under the wings in order to take off.

the double stack cylinder is the turbo bit from the turbo prop !!!!!!!!!!
Prop planes actually work better than jets from a carrier. The props "bite" very well and provide gobs of thrust at lower speeds. But more than anything, it's wing loading that matters. Jets have high wing loading and get their best lift at much higher speeds, hence the need for a catapult.
WW2 carriers didn't even have catapults. Catapults were developed to deal with jets.
Can prop AWACs take off from a carrier? Is it possible?

If you mean something the size of the E-3, not really, as it is simply too big and heavy. Of course the E-2's do it all the time.
