https://www.janes.com/osint-insights/defence-news/defence/chinese-y-9lg-electronic-warfare-aircraft-breaks-cover image Curiously, now that Janes has called it an EW Jamming aircraft, it still labels the beam antenna as "Radar." Other tags don't show any problem (COMINT, ELINT, SAR/GMTI, etc.), maybe it's a labeling error?
