Researchers working with the Chinese Air Force developed an advanced radar system, which they claim can track F-22 Raptor fighters. The F-22 is a stealth fighter, designed to evade the most advanced radar and air defense systems.

The team used a revolutionary technique of synchronized radar pulses which magnify the Radar Cross Section of the F-22 by 65,000 times.

Though the F-22 program was canceled by the US Air Force after delivery of 186 planes, in 2021 an additional $11 billion was budgeted to upgrade them through 2030, when they will be retired from service.
