Something about these T45s that I don't quite understand. I presume I've missed out on some key information somewhere....
There are repeated comments about 400 mile radar range, and being able to "take the Argentine aircraft out as they leave their airfields"..... so without breaching secrets, how does that work? That range is beyond the curvature of the horizon. Do we finally really have a working OTH backscatter radar? If so that makes any kind of AWACS / AEW redundant. (And incidentally removes or reduces the need for catapults in the carriers...)
Or is it all marketing wishful thinking?
