I didn't fall for that story, I had already warned about it before:Look like the talk about detecting and Locking F35 in previous skirmish was a masterful intelligence scenario to give us a sense of relaxation about enemy air power .... and we fell for it.
I don't need to learn because I know the difference. Still, detecting fighters at ranges of 900-2,000 km is highly speculative and depends on several factors. It is simply impossible for an OTH radar to detect a LO/VLO fighter flying at medium altitude at a range of 800 km, even if it had an antenna as high...Learn the difference between detecting and targeting.
They are two different things in the radar world.
Some radars can detect at far ranges, but its a general location and cannot be used for target acquisition, but it helps other radars know which sectors/quadrants to scan.
