This might be the most humiliating part of the entire operation — and it’s barely being talked about.In the three-hour operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, U.S. forces didn’t just expose Russian air defenses as useless.They completely discredited Chinese technology too.This is a Chinese promo video proudly showcasing the JY-27 “anti-stealth” radar — a massive, seven-story, meter-wave system China marketed as capable of detecting stealth aircraft. Venezuela reportedly bought nine of them.All nine failed.This radar is supposed to be China’s answer to stealth:• Huge antenna array• Meter-wave frequency• Long-range early warning• “Stealth target detection capability”And yet during a real operation — with real stealth aircraft, real electronic warfare, real pressure — it saw nothing.No warning.No tracking.No response.U.S. aircraft flew in, dismantled air defenses, inserted helicopters, extracted a head of state alive, and left — while both Russian SAMs and Chinese “anti-stealth” systems were effectively blind.This is why reactions in Beijing have been so visceral. It’s not just about Venezuela. It’s about credibility.Chinese weapons look terrifying in brochures.They look impressive in state TV promos.But when tested against a modern U.S. system-of-systems — they collapse.Every country watching just learned something very uncomfortable:Buying Chinese “counter-stealth” tech does not buy you protection.It buys you a false sense of security.Venezuela paid for nine radars.It got zero warning.
