– The early warning system utilizing an airship floating with helium gas, which may be the first of its kind in the world, appears to be watching the Korean Peninsula and U.S. military bases in Japan, Japanese expert in Chinese military studies Saburo Tanaka said.
– Such a system is believed to be effective in detecting weapons entering from low airspace. The airship base is located in a region in Dalian, relatively near the border with North Korea.
– The airship, flying in the upper atmosphere at an altitude of 20 to 100 kilometers, seems to be equipped with radar and infrared cameras, which could detect cruise missiles, low-altitude fighter jets, ballistic missiles and rockets.
