With the advancement of commercial satellite photography capabilities, intelligence news in many hotspots is likely to be faster than the official appearance in the mass media. Recently, foreign media have hyped the Chinese JY-27A anti-stealth radar at the Alan Air Force Base of the Pakistan Air Force . "Jane's Defense Weekly" published an article that China may be testing the performance of the new radar in Pakistan, because the Pakistani army has a large number of European and American fighters in service, and the actual combat experience of the Pakistan Air Force is much higher than that of the Chinese Air Force.
China has made rapid progress in the development of radar technology in recent years, and has made outstanding achievements in various types of radar. Even if some of these "future technologies" that are not yet practical are excluded, many Chinese radars have been put into practical use and have begun to export large amounts of foreign exchange. Considering that China's radar is reasonably priced and has complete after-sales service, many countries that urgently need alert radar are holding money for purchase. The 14th China Electric Power Research Institute is one of the most outstanding radar research institutions in China, and the JY-27 series radar is its flagship product. At the Zhuhai Air Show, Chinese manufacturers called JY-27A a VHF (Very High Frequency) radar, which can provide two-dimensional electronic scan data of the target's azimuth and pitch. Chinese researchers believe that the meter-wave beam produced by the JY-27A can make the stealth fighters generate sufficient echoes. China has repeatedly tracked the F-22 fighter approaching Chinese airspace. "Jane's Defense Weekly" believes that the JY-27A has a maximum detection range of 500 kilometers, a tracking distance of 300 kilometers for common fighter targets, and can also provide situational awareness of incoming ballistic missiles. Regarding the common problem of insufficient resolution of meter wave radar, China claims that its positioning error is less than 150 meters, which has exceeded the scope of traditional meter wave radar.
It is true that the Alan base has always been an important place for China and Pakistan to carry out weapon cooperation tests, including new fighters, radars, air defense missiles, and drones. However, China's hype by foreign media wants to use this to test its ability to track European and American fighters. Although both , India, Pakistan and have purchased a large number of European and American fighters, these fighters are not stealth fighters. The detection of such aircraft does not require a special meter wave long-range warning radar. The three-coordinate decimeter wave radar can achieve better detection accuracy. . The purpose of China's testing of radars here is more to change the environment, and Pakistan provides valuable suggestions for improvement. When China sells radars to foreign countries, it must also pay attention to various situations and malfunctions in actual combat. The collected data is very important for the later improvement of radars. High-precision products like radar are almost impossible to leave the factory in perfect condition and must spend a lot of time improving.
Some military experts also believe that Pakistan’s JY-27A is unlikely to be a separate purchase, because the opponent Indian Air Force does not have a stealth fighter that needs special attention from Pakistan. Experts believe that China is building a more complete air defense system for Pakistan, in which long-range warning radar and long-range air defense system are the top priorities. In the past, Pakistan could dominate the Indian Air Force by relying on its air force advantages. To this end, India began to introduce the S-400 air defense missile system in order to achieve "ground control of the air" to restrict the actions of the Pakistan Air Force. With the introduction of more advanced fighters such as Rafale into the Indian Air Force, Pakistan's pressure is indeed increasing day by day. During the India-Pakistan conflict , Pakistan urgently introduced Chinese Falcon-80 medium-range air defense missiles as an emergency measure. In the future, Pakistan will definitely purchase more systems, such as Hongqi-9. Therefore, at this moment, Pakistan’s introduction of Chinese radar can be said to be the preliminary work of building an air defense circle. More equipment will be gradually put in place to form the capital of Pakistan and the vicinity of Kashmir. The reliable air defense circle. (Military fish)
