So they are claiming to have an SAM with a 189 NM range?

Right there I’m calling BS.

And harking back to my old NAVAIR days, no ship was going to see me in my non-stealth aircraft, until I broke the radar horizon at about 20 miles.

SM-2 Block IV has that kind of range, and our fearless leaders have no doubt given the ChiComs all the specs.

Just for the sake of conjecture, let us say a radar system is based in outer space, not the atmosphere, land, or sea Would this potentially render aircraft stealth techniques obsolete?
