US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) towed a Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX) to Vigor Shipyard on Harbor Island of Seatle for three months of work. So local newspapers print photos of it (radar).

("The SBX-1 serves as the largest and most sophisticated phased array electro-mechanically steered X-band radar in the world. * * * the radar can track objects as they fly toward, over, and away from the vessel. * * * which is capable of seeing an object the size of a baseball at a distance of 2,500 miles")

It appears US has only one.

(It is nomimaly based at Adak Island in Alaska (though, as of early 2011, has never put into port at Adak) but can roam over the Pacific Ocean to detect incoming ballistic missiles)

("*美国怀疑：中国人看到了残骸*  但美国对巴方的说辞持怀疑态度。一位美国官员说，他不清楚巴基斯坦是否已经让中国人看到了飞机残骸，如果还没有，他会很'吃惊'”)

My comment: there are many who took a look at the wreckage photo and said the helicopter was just ordinary.

Quote:

"克罗宁说，'事实上是，中国试图操纵美国政策，他们考虑的是他们的国家利益。在六方会谈中，中国的国家利益是把北韩的稳定放在第一位，把解除核武器放在最后一位，中国希望美国买他们的帐，但是这不符合美国的国家利益。'
