You win.
You win.
Yeah, I see that.
Last summer at Fort Sill for a Counter UAS exercise, we used a Sentinel to track ravens and switchblades (which are half the size of ravens). The only time it couldn’t track them is when the ground speed was <2 kph. And this was mostly due to the mountains behind the target vehicle.
It’s only from personal experience. Sorry. I guess I should have mention a target with the required radar cross section. Which this thing had. Ask border patrol.
It’s a SAM, it’s designed to take out aircraft. It had a relatively small warhead, maybe 50 lbs. It doesn’t take much to take out an aircraft.
There are sentinel radars in the area. The only way it will not detect a target is if the speed drops to 0.
there are several sentinel radars in and around the dc area. The sentinel is capable of detecting something as small as a raven uav. So I'm sure they were tracking this thing.
Are you fucking kidding me?
when does the tide come in?
1. A mini disc player? That’s funny. I guess they were more popular in Japan.
If she had a dick, 3/4 of the news outlets would be sucking it.
In contrast, Link 16/MIDS, an other forms of popular data links and waveforms are omni-directional, use more power and not necessarily low-probability of intercept (stealthy).
Question, is it really 11 gears or does it use different ratios for downshifting into 2,3, and 4 (for example)?
And A10 pilots make the best ALO's. Who better to liason with the army for CAS than a guy who does CAS for a living.
How meant times have they tried to kill the A10? Hell, in my 22 years of service, it's been tried 3 or 4 times.
Not sure how many people would be interested. It's kind of a niche branch with equipment that people have no idea about. Plus, I have no writing ability what so ever. lol
140A, Air Defense Warrant Officer. I've spent a lot of time in a ADAM/BAE cell At brigade and division level. I'm currently teaching airspace management for the maneuver captains career course at fort Benning. That's most of my warrant time, I also have 10.5 years enlisted time, split between ADA and infantry.
Yeah, common mistake. Most army officers think it is"air". You might have heard it misquoted somewhere.
