The Radar System That Tracked the PLA’s Ballistic Missile Launch The Taiwanese government claims its Pave Paws early warning radar system detected a recent People's Liberation Army ballistic missile launch from Chinese waters.
While the system's detection capabilities are impressive, with a range of up to 5,000 kilometers and an altitude of 2,600 meters above sea level, the significance lies in its implications for regional tensions.
The Leshan Radar Station, located in northern Taiwan's Hsinchu county, is one of several early warning units that form the backbone of Taiwan's defense network.
