The new Chinese radar, which is being built on the island of the disputed archipelago, will allow you to track any American aircraft, writes columnist Dave Majumdar in The National Interest.

Media: the new Chinese radar will track "even the most invisible American aircraft"


"China, in all likelihood, is building a new high-frequency radar on one of the artificial Spratly islands, which will allow Beijing to track even the most invisible US military aircraft, including Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor and F-35 Spirit and even Northrop Grumman's B-2 Spirit ", - quotes the browser RIA News.

Earlier on the construction of the island, allegedly, high-frequency radar reported authoritative research center "Center for Strategic and International Studies".

“The so-called high-frequency radars use wavelengths up to a meter, which makes it possible to see any aircraft using stealth technology. The size of all operating stealth aircraft of the US Air Force is large enough so that they are not detected by high-frequency radar, ”writes Majumdar.

In the event of hostilities, the Americans will have to destroy such radars, “before launching rockets around China,” the author concludes.

    It is time for China to fill out the second island for an installation that will shoot down the most invisible US aircraft, then the third for an installation that will recycle the wreckage of these aircraft into smartphones for sale in the United States.

            There are no absolutely "invisible" aircraft. They will be detected only at a shorter range. And the VHF radar, I think, is even more effective. The fulfillment of the combat mission of detection and guidance depends on the sensitivity of the radar receiver, power, their optimal settings, preparation of calculations, etc. And radars of the centimeter range have the best characteristics in terms of resolution and determination of precision parameters.

        It is even more incomprehensible why "build" a radar on the island? There may be a translation error and a position is being prepared for the deployment of the m-band radar. Although you don't even need to make slides for it, you need a flat surface. Such radars are usually deployed within 8 hours.

        and in general, the Chinese said it was a lighthouse
        Last week, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi repeated the president’s promise. He explained that the construction of the islands in the South China Sea is for civilian purposes and that atolls and weather observation buildings are being erected, not military facilities.

        The representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Hua Chuning, repeated the words of the boss, but added that in any case, China has the right to do what it wants on the artificial islands in the South China Sea, because its rights to them are not subject to discussion.

      March 27 1999 of the year during the war in Yugoslavia, the invisible F-117 Night Hawk US Air Force aircraft was shot down by the old Pechora anti-aircraft missile system P-125. The first 5В27Д rocket, launched at the Kirov Plant named after the XX Party Congress in 1976, tore off the wing of the American fighter, the second hit the fuselage. Pilot Dale Zelko ejected, hid in the forest and a few hours later was evacuated by helicopter by American special forces.

      The article very incorrectly indicates "high frequency radar" and then a wavelength of several meters. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. VHF radars see stealth aircraft. There are over-the-horizon radars that operate at fairly long wavelengths (at relatively low frequencies), but serve only for early warning, they cannot direct anti-aircraft missiles, since the accuracy will be plus or minus bast shoes.

      On a phased array, you can play it.
      And so, in general, in old complexes, there is a survey radar from which you can’t hide because it works in the meter range and shows a healthy bast in the air in any way.
      And besides him, there is a guidance radar which, by itself, can .. let the plane go invisible (or maybe detect it if the calculation is correct), but if a signal was received from the surveillance radar, then the calculation knows for sure that the enemy’s bastion is in the air and anyone will find it and carry out guidance for the reflected signal, one hell changes.

      What is considered a "high frequency radar"? And what about "low frequency"? And what is more "high-frequency" radar of the meter range or centimeter?
      I wonder for whom this Majmudar writes his opuses? For those who are like himself?
      Of course, we understand little about stealth technology, and we don’t need anything. We understand well in high-frequency and low-frequency radars. Oddly enough, for some reason they are all high-frequency for some reason.
      For a stealth specialist, a little reference.
      Radar 5n84 - station meter range. Wavelengths of the order of one meter. Easily detects aircraft at ranges of 500 km and above. Depending on the flight altitude, of course. Well, and also from other different factors.
      Radar 5n87 - station centimeter range. It is about 10 cm long. Detects aircraft at a range of about 400 km.
      For those with an armored train.
      The longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency of the transmitter. That is, 5n87 is more "high-frequency" radar than 5n84.
      And we don't care about these stealth technologies ... We have had "high-frequency" radars since the 60s.
