Dave Majumdar, National Interest: Russia's Next Fighter Might Have a New Way to Shoot Down F-22s and F-35s
Russia’s future sixth-generation fighter as well as its next generation unmanned aircraft could be equipped with what is described as a “radio-photonic radar.”
“Its performance exceeds state-of-the-art electronics at carrier frequencies above two gigahertz, and the detection of non-cooperating aeroplanes confirms the effectiveness and expected precision of the system.”
Other researchers—including one from China—have followed up on the PHODIR team’s work to address some of the limitations of current photonic radar technology.
“The signal processing in the sampling receiver is still a main limitation of the operation frequency and bandwidth,” reads a paper by Chinese scientists Fangzheng Zhang, Qingshui Guo and Shilong Pan in Nature .

WNU Editor: Is it me .... but this narrative that the fighters Russia hasn’t built yet are always superior to the ones the U.S. has is getting kind of lame?
