JY-27 “Wide Mat”

JY-27 radar of the Chinese manufacturer CETC is a fully solid-state and fully coherent long-range early warning system. It is designed and developed to provide early warning information and detect low-observable air targets in so-called “Stealth Technology”. Besides, it provides the early warning information for weapons system as well.
