No radar system can detect F-22 at a distance of up to 500 KM. Claims such as these are completely unsubstantiated. Detecting an F-22 even around 50 KM mark is suspect in reality.JY-27A is a 3-D long-range air surveillance & guidance radar that is resistant to jamming and is highly reliable and mobile. It is a VHF Radar that uses an active phased array antenn. JY-27A is able to detect stealth aircraft like F-22 in a distance of up to 500 km
Similar variant was installed in Syria as well but Israeli F-35 made short work of it in one of the raids in nighttime conditions. FYI: https://defence-blog.com/news/sourc...se-made-radar-during-airstrikes-in-syria.html
The radar system was eventually repaired but it did not make much difference.
Nevetheless, no harm in testing and fielding new types of radar systems, if accessible. WE need to improve our defenses in whatever ways possible but no need for overhype.
