Russian media: Russia and China have already learned how to detect the US F-35 fighter!

Even the Houthis can detect the F-35, and the US has lost its stealth capability.

On May 22, multiple media outlets including Russia's National Interest published articles on this topic.

The new radars developed by Russia and China can detect and track the US's fifth-generation F-35 stealth fighter.

According to RIA Novosti reports, the US F-35 stealth fighter narrowly avoided being hit by Houthi missiles in the Red Sea, exposing anti-stealth radar tactics.

For a long time, America's air superiority has been built on the ability to strike any target without being detected.

Stealth capability has become a key component of American air power. Since the 1980s, the Pentagon has increasingly relied on stealth aircraft to maintain an advantage over adversaries.

"But as long as Washington is still celebrating its own glory, its competitors will push it," the Russian media wrote, recalling many moments over the past 30 years when America's 'stealth' did not work as planned.

On March 27, 1999, during NATO's military operation against Yugoslavia, an F-117 Nighthawk was shot down by the S-125 air defense missile system. The Serbs realized that by setting the radar to the lowest frequency (and maximum bandwidth), they would be able to identify stealth aircraft.

Serbia's method was relatively low-tech, but both China and Russia took notice.

Russia has developed advanced early warning radar stations such as "Nebo-M" and "Resonance-N", capable of tracking stealth aircraft. This is just the first link in Russia's chain of systems for detecting stealth aircraft.

China is manufacturing a similar system called JY-27A. Like Russia, China is also developing an integrated network system where meter-range radars are crucial. Additionally, there are rumors that Chinese radars possess synthetic pulse and aperture. This system uses synthetic pulses within the frequency range to destroy the mid-air stealth capabilities of US military aircraft.

Russian experts believe: We are rapidly approaching an era when America's armed forces' absurd $1 trillion defense budget will become obsolete under the influence of cheaper and more innovative solutions from China and Russia.
