Chinese Radar that could See F-35 OR F-22

PLA - AirForce 

Introduction : 

The f-35 is an impressive aircraft. It's got a lot of bells and whistles and a heck of an advanced computer system.

And of course its most popular jet some of its feature is most likely its stealth Capabilities.

The fighter that America rants and raves about however may not really be that great anymore.

It's being talked about a lot and that is how China has Basically stated that it has the ability to counter the stealth abilities in the F-22, B-2 bomber and F-35.

So, let's find out how they could do this and whether or not this is true or not.

Radar

So recently there's been a lot of things going on with the F-35 and China.For example, one of the most recent things is that there was a company in England that had a Chinese parent company that was making circuits for the F-22 and the F-35.

But however, those are just circuits for the aircraft It has nothing to do with the stealth capability of the f-35 or the F-22 So it's not that big of a deal but the big one is apparently China states that they have figured out that they have a new form of radar that can detect the F-35.

It's pretty impressive if you can do that, but not only that just to take it a step further. They cannot just detect the F-35.But they can also use guided missiles and take one down.And that is very scary considering the United States has spent millions of dollars and said that the F-35 is going to be around for like 80 years and it's stealth won't be beaten any time soon.

Actually, as a matter of fact Israel stated that the F-35 stealth Capabilities will probably be countered in a couple of years. So it's stealth might be useless and this might be the case.

US Navy

So how could this happen while China has really apparently made advancements in what they call meter wave radar.

So how radar works now?

I am no expert but this is basically the dumbed down version of it basically Most radar works through high frequency or called microwaves which sends out Multiple pulses and makes it really good for guided missiles to hit their intended target.

However, there is also what is known as a low frequency or meter Wave Which is really hard for tracking but really good for searching areas for aircraft and incoming attacks.

So when you use a combination of this you've got one for firing and you've got one for searching so the stealth aspect on the F-22 and the F-35 really really shines at Hiding the fighter in the high frequency area.

But however, China has stated that they have made some serious advancements in Low-frequency, let's talk about it. So what is the technology exactly? Well, it's been claimed to be developed by China's Electronics Technology Group Corporation and what they have is multiple transmitting and receiving Antennas.

Now, they are scattered around tens of hundreds of meters and are about 10 meters tall this technology Really increases the ability to find any form of aircraft whether or not it has stealth or not.

For example if an F-35 entered its range it would be capable of Pinpointing its location and getting an exact lock on the aircraft for its missiles.

Keep in mind  there is a huge question of whether or not this is a valid claim.  Russia has also said that it is capable of going through the F-35 and F-22 stealth And in relation to this the United States recently just pulled turkey from the F-35 program Because it had plans to buy the S-400 series defense system.

Conclusion:

However, though that is all just major speculation the downside is we will not know about this until an F-35 goes down in combat and more importantly It would have to go down in combat against a country that has a superior form of stealth technology.
