Mil radar tracking of civilian A/C.

It is quite common in central Europe, especially during NATO exercises.
Last from 30 sec to a minute or two. It does not bother me particularly because I am a punk and generally feel lucky.

It is the principal.

As we were told at the range :Treat it as loaded and never aim the rifle at ANYONE unless You are ready to kill them.
So , in peacetime NEVER!
As so clearly shown in Iran :It only takes one eager Beaver and someone dies!

Mele
So , not observant or never been in the cross hairs of fighter ,SAM or tired sailor on a Destroyer .
Now , when You do see it you know what it is.
