The Chinese SAR satellite provides black-and-white images in one meter.
Western SAR satellites provide color images in one meter.
China slowly climbs the technological ladder with indigenous invention.
Other countries buy from the West and claim the technology as their own. This is silly. The credit for the technology still belongs to the West.
In this thread, I'm discussing China's progression of indigenous technology. Earlier Chinese images were 2 to 4 meter black-and-white SAR pictures. Now, we're down to one meter for China.
In contrast, we have India (a nation without the ability to build semiconductors) that claims to have color resolution to rival Western SAR satellites. Guess what? Those are Western SAR sensors.
If you want to claim that Western SAR satellites are currently better than China's hi-res SAR satellite, that is true. However, India does not
possess INDIGENOUS technology for SAR satellites. India buys Western SAR sensors.
