Four electronic warfare devices circling the ship created the illusion, sending signals that could deceive even an advanced radar from a distance. It was developed by a team from the Beijing Research Institute of Telemetry, an aerospace defence contractor. They detailed the 'unprecedented' technology in a peer-reviewed paper published in the Chinese-language Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics on February 28.
