The heck is that?
I gotchu boo
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle
Ahhh right, I didn’t recognize it from a photo but I’ve read of it.
It’s annoying that so many sources are calling VERA-NG a “radar” when it’s specifically not a radar: it’s a fully passive system, it only receives and doesn’t emit. Hell, even the Wiki article is titled VERA passive sensor
Radar can totally be passive, and if you’re flying above enemy territory, it’s a really good idea to use passive radar and not active radar (the latter of which is used for some guided missile platforms).
In fact, active radar means everyone with passive radar knows where (and probably, what) you are.
Oh interesting, although that does make complete sense. I’m an old sigs pig so I’m not too clued in on this stuff honestly
The Dildo of consequences
It’s an advanced radar system
As I said in another comment, I didn’t recognize it from photos but I’ve read of the VERA system. It’s actually specifically not a radar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VERA_passive_sensor
