China’s claim it has ‘quantum’ radar may leave $17 billion F-35 naked CHINA claims it has a radical new ‘quantum’ radar capable of detecting stealth fighters at great distances. Does this mean our ultra-expensive new F-35 is obsolete, even before we get it? http://www.news.com.au/technol...7d21a9f36e54b6f0fbab | ||

Yes. Like a firearm is useless because you might see it when it is pointed at you. All such advancments in the World of Weapons Systems is limited in its effectivness and starts the road to obsolencence before the ink is dry on the drawing board. You simply have to drive an anchor point now, with the best you have, and get it into service as fast as possible, bearing in mind the; sigmonkey 3E=4 fomula™.

They would really only have something like that if we had it first so that they could steal it and copy it. s. _______________________________________________________________________ Don't Ask The Tyrants Why They Commit Tyranny, Ask The Slaves Why They Kneel | |||

Since nobody else has it and China only 'innovates' by stealing, I'm going to conclude that this is BS. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

China can't manufacture a gd Phillips-head screw that won't strip with more than 1.8 lbs. of torque applied. And they invented a radar that renders stealth obsolete?? BWWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

If it is created by man, it can also be overcome by man. To paraphrase Gen. George S. Patton Jr. All stealth technology does, is reduce the echo (RF signal) going back to the source. Improve the receiver at the source and less and less signal receipt is required to 'see'. I've seen some RF technology at the plain Amateur Radio level that is freaking cool. Now figure that the military is at least 15+ years ahead in what I have access to. If I recall, the Czech's claimed to have tracked a F-117 over Bosnia back in the '90s. Again, just tweaking the receiver. Also, even stealth aircraft cause 'atmospheric turbulence', which does differ at altitudes. Still, if we can detect wind-shears and other wind anomalies, we can't be too far away from detecting 'aircraft turbulence' at distance. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Akin to Regan telling the commies we were investing in SDI when it couldn't be done. But it made the commies invest heavily when they couldn't afford it. | |||

They're taking one out of NKorea's book and making fun and outlandish weapons claims? Lil Kim may not be happy about that. ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

Bingo. Besides, the only way that China could have developed such a thing is if someone else invented it and they copied it. | |||

China is full of shit. They CANNOT innovate anything, all they can do is copy and imitate what others have done. | |||
