I was confused about those odd body "transport" planes.
and...
9301 and 9351 are members of PLANAF 2nd (Specialized) Division, not PLAAF.
079 is a radar test bed under "civilian control"
AWAC T0518 is for exported
I see. But,what's the function and purpose of the two PLAN planes? ASUW or ASW?
Strange looking nose. Side looking radar?

9301 is a maritime patrol (with a British Skymaster radar) a poor man's AWAC if you will.
9341 is ASW.
