Chinese Chipmaker Unveils 128GSPS ADC, Claiming End‑to‑End Domestic Supply for Radar and Space Systems
Chengdu Huaw Microelectronics has unveiled a 10‑bit, 128GSPS ADC with 37GHz input bandwidth, and says the device was developed and manufactured entirely using domestic Chinese suppliers. The chip targets radar, satellite communications and high‑end test equipment, but is still in the early market introduction phase and has not reached scale sales.
Chengdu Firm Unveils Homegrown 10‑bit 128 GS/s ADC — A Boost for China’s High‑Speed Electronics Push
Chengdu Huaw Microelectronics has unveiled a 10‑bit, 128 GS/s ADC, a high‑speed converter that could advance China’s domestic capabilities in radar, communications, and test equipment. While headline specs are impressive, commercial impact will hinge on detailed performance metrics, production scale and system integration.
Satellite Images and Video Show Iran Targeted US Communication and Radar Systems at Multiple Middle East Bases
Satellite imagery and verified video analyzed by the New York Times show Iranian strikes damaged communications and radar systems at at least seven U.S. bases in the Middle East, including Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet headquarters and Al Udeid in Qatar. The targeted hits on radomes and satellite terminals appear intended to degrade U.S. command-and-control and surveillance capabilities, complicating operations and raising the risk of further escalation.
Fewer Visible Sorties, Not Less Pressure: How J-20s and Information Warfare Are Reworking the Taiwan Air Picture
A reported drop in PLA sortie counts around Taiwan has prompted speculation of de‑escalation, but evidence points to a qualitative shift in operations. The deployment and massing of J‑20 stealth fighters, combined with integrated sensor networks, mean fewer visible flights can still impose significant military pressure and complicate Taiwan's defence picture.
New F-35 Deliveries Arrive Without Radar, Exposing Production and Readiness Fault Lines
A report says Lockheed Martin delivered recent F-35s without AN/APG-85 radars, and the mounting differences prevent fitting the earlier AN/APG-81 as a substitute. The deliveries could constrain the jets' combat roles, strain depots and suppliers, and prompt political and allied scrutiny of the F-35 programme.
Newest F-35s Reportedly Delivered Without Functional Radar, Raising Readiness and Industrial Concerns
A report says Lockheed Martin delivered a batch of F-35s since June 2025 without the AN/APG-85 radar installed, leaving only the radar pedestal and preventing simple retrofit with the older AN/APG-81. The gap could degrade readiness, increase retrofit costs and spotlight supply-chain and integration strains within the U.S. defense-industrial base.
Radarless F‑35s and Claims of 1,000 J‑20s: A Test of U.S. Production, Chinese Scale and Air‑Power Assumptions
A reported delay in new radars has left a batch of F‑35As delivered without their primary fire‑control sensors, limiting their beyond‑visual‑range capabilities and highlighting U.S. supply‑chain fragility. Parallel claims that China is ramping J‑20 production toward 1,000 aircraft underscore a narrative of shifting industrial balance, though the larger Chinese figures warrant cautious scrutiny.
