China may have deployed its YLC-8B UHF anti-stealth search radar on Pintan Island, Fujian Province. Satellite imagery from Google Earth suggests the radar was only installed this year.

Developed by the No.14 Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETGC). The radar is claimed to be able to detect stealthy aircraft at a range of 350km. This practically covers almost all of Taiwan.

The radar made its first public appearance at the Zhuhai airshow in 2016.
