Some photos of the practice flights for the 65th anniversary parade are posted. Check out this plane, looks like a side looking radar mounted atop the plane.
Perhaps a naval, or airborne command center, the top mounted is probably a radar as it is smaller than a sat- com on Russian Airforce 1 ( see here the SAT link on top of the Russian AF1 http://farm1.static.flickr.com/142/371663985_2fbc4f11cc_o.jpg

maybe something similar to a SAR radar? Russian or Isreali made, I wonder.
AN/APY-3/-7 (United States) - Jane's Electronic Mission Aircraft
Or maybe its a plane everyone knows about, only Im the only one in the dark about it. Tell me what you think.

PS. I just got back from China, went for vacation to Hainan, happy to say a couple of SSBNs one type 94 and one maybe 92? (but this has nothing to do with aircraft) were parked there and an attack sub.
Great sun, great ocean, well recommended to anyone in Asia, who wants a get away and doesn't want to go to Thailand!
