Re "passive radar". abcnews.go.com It just uses existing low frequency radio and TV transmitters as a radar "source beam". Advanced electronics filter out the noise and you have just the receiver to look for hostile aircraft....smart. Anyway, I bettcha we can scratch one Iraqi "passive radar" this evening US attacks airport radar Iraq says a US airstrike has hit a radar system at its airport in the southern port city of Basra, the second attack there in three days. The official Radio Baghdad announcement did not mention casualties. It said the strike further damaged buildings at the airport. A spokesman for the US Central Command said coalition aircraft monitoring the southern "no-fly" zone used precision-guided weapons to strike a military mobile radar near Basra and a surface-to-air missile site near Qalat Sikur. timesonline.co.uk (see breaking news)
