I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Oddly enough the enemy don't have TCAS either. They often have IFF but generally don't have it switched on. Where detection is required we generally use primary radar.

Not all fast-jets are seeking to detect aircraft BVR - Harrier and GR4s tend not to detect other than to avoid detection.

However what you have not said is when or where your low flying is to take place. That would be useful information to put out. BTW, Saturday would be better.
