With the best will in the world, OTH radar is only effective used over large areas of sea. There are surface wave coastal radars effective out to a couple of hundred miles, but only against surface targets, they wouldn’t pick up a cruise missile. Even if they could, detection range and identification in a crowded, and doubtless highly jammed EW environment like the eastern Med would be a nightmare.
