The Chinese JY-26 Counter Stealth Radar

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

The JY-26 VHF/UHF radar has a detection distance of 500 kilometers and high accuracy capabilities.Given its long wavelength, it is poor at maintaining lock for fire control and targeting, but is superior for general detection.  New work in AESAs will make this system attain a Generation 2, that will not rely upon secondary systems to detect, track, characterize and engage on stealth systems.  

Should we be worried? Yes   Are we?  We drink Kool Aid.
