#1 Ok so I’m assuming the Chinese have already stolen the design and are now capable of the same thing?

#2 Old idea. Anti-radiation missiles have been around a long time and work well against SAM and AAA radars.

The air defense people got smart and set up 3-4 radars and turn them off and on at different times and the targeting system shares the data.

Then the attackers got smarter and programmed the missiles to go for the last location of that certain radar type/bandwidth.

Then the defenders got mobile radars.

Then the attack set up the missiles to loiter until they detect the signal.

Been fun times for all.
