“In addition to several old radars sent from Russia, a number of JY-27A phased array radars capable of detecting“ invisible fighters ”were also sent from China. In addition, there is also a three-axis long-range radar JYL-1, which is considered“ a nail in the eye ”and“ a thorn in the flesh. ”On the last day of 2019, the Syrian army deployed the Russian anti-aircraft complex Pantsir-C1 and the Chinese three-coordinate long-range radar JYL-1 at the base off the Aleppo-Khasaka M4 highway. The effective detection range of this radar reaches 320 km. The main goal is round-the-clock monitoring and the provision of accurate navigation data.
