China claims it can detect stealth aircraft using Starlink satellites, but it hasn't exactly proven it just yet.

Chinese researchers have conducted an intriguing experiment. They claim that by using the radiation emitted by SpaceX's Starlink constellation, they can detect stealth aircraft, such as the US Air Force's F-22.

SpaceX's Starlink satellite network can identify stealth aircraft in the air, a group of Chinese researchers claim. Using the reflected signals of both the satellites and the ground, they have created a technique detecting the shadow an aircraft creates, a technique that could revolutionize the way stealth technology is seen.

A team of Chinese scientists have performed an unprecendented radar experiment: using Starlink satellite signals to detect stealth aircraft and drones.

In the experiment, conducted off the coast of Guangdong in the South China Sea, a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone was used to simulate a stealth fighter. The drone was chosen due to its radar cross-section, which is similar to that of advanced U.S. fighter jets like the F-22.

Chinese researchers have discovered that Starlink’s emissions can be used to detect the position of a fighter jet.

If this really was that useful, they wouldn't be telling us According to a Chinese state-sanctioned study, signals from SpaceX Starlink broadband internet satellites could be used to track US stealth fighters,
