Trump Sparks Fact-Checks With Claim His Uncle Invented Radar

Original: radar

Donald Trump is being widely fact-checked after claiming his uncle "invented radar," with outlets including Newsweek noting the record shows radar was developed by others in the 1930s. The remark drew swift ridicule online. It comes alongside a wider wave of radar-related news, including China reportedly beginning serial production of the KJ-3000 airborne early warning aircraft and a Rocket Lab launch carrying a Japanese radar satellite.

Why now: Trump's widely mocked and fact-checked radar claim is circulating at the same time as major radar-related defence news.
