Presumably this also applies to civilian radar ?
Civilian radars predominantly work in a co-operative environment, namely the aircraft squawk mode 3A/mode S etc. The effects of wind turbines or other factors affecting primary radar are of supreme indifference to them.

Which is one reason why the AD system cannot solely rely on the ATC system - if you want to know why read the 911 report.
