The US Air Force stealth fighter aircraft, the F-35, can be detected by Chinese and Russian radars, it has been revealed.
An AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar, which emits separate radio waves on different frequencies, fitted onto China’s latest warships is the source of a new threat to the F-35. By rapidly changing frequencies, the radar is more difficult to fool. The system is apparently capable of locating a stealth aircraft within 220 miles, according to the Daily Mail.
The UK Ministry of Defense, on Tuesday denied media reports suggesting the F-35 was susceptible to enemy radar. “There is no suggestion that this is the case. Lightning II is the most advanced combat jet in the world and has been specifically designed to be updated throughout its lifetime to ensure it can benefit from new technology to counter emerging threats and keep Britain ahead of its enemies,” the statement said.
