Chinesische Forscher sagen, sie können Stealth-Flugzeuge mit Starlink-Satelliten erkennen

Weird. This is the kind of stuff you don’t make public.

>As the [*South China Morning Post* reports](https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3278209/starlink-radiation-makes-stealth-target-glow-chinese-radar), the team used a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone as a stand-in for such an aircraft for an experiment

So they can detect quad copter drones when they know exactly where too look.

>This idea is that when an aircraft passes between a satellite and an antenna back on the ground

Stunning. Literally how the very very very first radar detected an air craft: by it blocking a signal between an emitter and a receiver.

>Thanks to the thousands of Starlink satellites that have been launched by SpaceX so far, scientists are now hoping to use disturbances in the high-frequency radio signals to track stealth aircraft.

Provided they pass directly over your revivers just as a satellited passes over head.

>For now, the team has only tested their method on a drone that flew at relatively low altitudes, and it remains to be seen if Starlink radiation could reveal larger and harder-to-spot targets such as stealth aircraft.

By this method, you can pretty much detect anything that is not transparent to that radio wavelength. But we knew that in about 1935, what you cannot do is detect and track it in anything other than the most random chance of circumstances.
