China's Divine Eagle "super drone"....

Thanks to Winarto for the link.

Above you see a drawing of the Divine Eagle "super drone".  Its purpose?  To be part of an integrated system to track our stealth aircraft.  Check this out from Popular Science.

Compared to its stealthy American counterpart, the RQ-180, the Divine Eagle is designed more for operational reconnaissance rather than strategic intelligence, direct flights over denied territory. While it has a very stealthy design, the Divine Dragon's high flight ceiling means that enemy fighters would have difficulty engaging it, and its long range radar would allow it to stay away from air defenses like the AEGIS when guiding Chinese anti-ship missiles at carriers. The Divine Eagle's could datalink with Chinese SAMs on land and sea to shoot down low flying cruise missiles. The Divine Eagle would even have a role in striking down enemy A2/AD networks, by locating enemy surface to air missiles (SAM) launchers to be destroyed by Chinese smart bombs. At the same time, the Divine Eagle can locate enemy stealth bombers, fighters, drones and cruise missiles, and then summon Chinese fighters to defend the Mainland.

(Note:  I don't know why switched from Divine Eagle to Divine Dragon...I'll try and run that down to get the correct name...I have some bros over at China Defense forum that will be able to clear it up)

But wait!  There's more...

The JY-26 "Skywatch" AESA Radar, operates in the long wave band to detect stealth aircraft, which are often optimized against detection by shorter wavelenghts. The JY-26 is claimed to have a range of 500km and Chinese media claimed it detected F-22 Raptor fighters off the South Korean coast in mid 2014. The Divine Eagle is likely to have similar radar technology to detect stealth bomber and fighters at long range.

Question.

What do you think is going to be placed on those artificial islands the Chinese are building?

Do yourself a favor and read this article that got absolutely no attention when it was published earlier this year.  Between this and the White Paper the Chinese just released its obvious.

They're preparing for war with the US and they plan on nullifying any advantage that we THINK we have.  I don't think our ground forces, which are geared to fight counter insurgency will last long against a mechanized Chinese assault force.  Even worse (as if anything could be worse) is the fact that our airpower that so many in leadership are counting on will be swept from the sky.

Unless we wrap our heads around the fact that the "partnership" missions and outreach is meaningless when you're dealing with a proud country, anxious to flex its muscles on the world stage...sorta like the US after WW2, then we're looking at one outcome.  The Chinese are gonna kick our ass.
