SCMP: China is working hard on its 'F-22 killer' and other radars to better track US stealth aircraft
* Improvements to Chinese radar systems are being highlighted at an industry expo in Nanjing.
* Developments are coming as many countries boost their defenses with drones and stealth aircraft.
China has put the spotlight on its advanced radars, highlighting improvements in its ability to track US stealth aircraft at an industry expo, according to state media.
The hardware on display at the three-day World Radar Expo in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing included the long-range SLC-7, JY-26 and LC-8E systems, state-run Global Times reported on Friday.
Each of these systems can identify and track stealth aircraft, which are designed to avoid detection and carry out precision strikes against key military assets.

Well, this has to be seen, Chinese propaganda is more and more on hype.
That said, tracking a stealth fighter is one thing, destroying it is an other one. Either the missile is using its own radar which is not as good as the big terrestrial one, or the "good" radar has to illuminate the target which is always possible to jam it.
Stealth is not the miraculous solution but still a changing one.
Error: not a "changing one" but a challenging one.
Jac,
People have claimed for 2 decades that Stealth could be tracked. It does not make the plane invisible. It merely reduces its apparent cross section.
One thing it might do is force radars to be spaced closer together and thus make defense more expensive.
Keep it forward Jac, At last you analytically made it balanced. I mean, keep moving foward do not be scared and do not ever look back.
