It can even track a target the size of a cricket ball approaching at three times the speed of sound

It needs to do better than that. A missile with stealth will have an effective radar cross-section much smaller than a cricket ball. For example, the F-22's radar cross section is comparable to the radar cross sections of birds and bees

I sincerely hope that this radar specification as well as many others publlicly released grossly understate the full and true capabilities of the system.
