The "condensation" in the intake is simply explained.

The radar bullet forms a convergent duct initially. This results in flow acceleration which causes a drop in pressure and therefore a drop in temperature.

When the relative humidity is high this temperature drop causes saturation and thus visible moisture. Seemples.
