A letter from the army

That picture of it installed on the Dutch frigate makes it look like a capsizing hazard. Then they're going have to blank off half it's coverage to keep from blowing up a lot of electronics.

A mile away from a 1MW transmitter that swings past your line angle once every rotation for a few milliseconds...

No worry... Your field strength ain't shit.

But I have more spectral lines!

Pulsed radar is low duty cycle, too.

110 to 170 GHz! Well, just stay inside, and it won't get to you.

It is 1000m 1 km I have the field strength calculations paper from TNO google: final-report-research-on-the-tno-study-on-potential-health-effects-from-a-military-smart-l-radar.pdf

I will run some tests later and with the spectrum analyzer.

Then for the tinfoil :-)

Yes, the Russian threat may be far less than that of their equipment. This one is on a tower on land though.

1 MW solid state is cute!

There are houses 470 meter from it, will see how long the pulse is, most radars sweep frequency.. At less than 470 m it is designated danger zone in one paper.... No Entry area

I sure they would appreciate your help in testing their advertised high ECCM performance. Just get a few channel/fading simulators from ebay and hook them up to a few antennas.

As soon as see an incoming one, you know you're about to succeed!

Our lovely neighbour is a good reason not to post any information on this kind of matters in Finland..

I was just using the spectrum analyzer (it is a rtl-sdr stick here)

did find some signal but nothing that looks like radar, but the rtl_sdr stops at 1.7 GHz here.

I dunno, all this anti-Russian propaganda is so silly. I sure would prefer Putin over the clowns we have now as dictator in the Netherlands :-) The US Military Complex taxpayer sucking job creator and creator of useless crap weapons .. Imperium building Trump was right about that, withdraw from where you have nothing to do.

Also to do with my history.

Nordstream 2 US interference. Syria,

In the end it is all about the strongest / smartest Darwin

Biden will likely start an other war, instrument of MIC. May well be in Europe that war, like his demon-cratic predecessor Bill Klignon eeeh Clinton did.

One ant heap against the other Maybe they will one day unite when the aliens attack.

One more reason to look for those! ;-)

So that radar is part of NATO, an attack organization that has become. I think the radar was moved to make place for 5G. An other folly.

I did not see Finland on the map, is it now officially part of Russia? _

Best radar in the world doesn't help if you don't have any interceptors:

Dont forget to wear your aluminum hat!

True, so we have F35 so OK no interceptors. We also have nukes, but those are under US control, have not seen the hack yet, probably a matter of time.

Years ago I had a guy tell me that some fighter jets radar were powerful enough that they could light up steel wool pads on the runway. Any truth to that?

Sure possible. Maybe they get into the surplus and you can try yourself Years ago the 'friend enemy' detectors were available from the local dump store...

a capsizing hazard.

blowing up a lot of electronics.

The Netherlands is a part of much larger NATO system. They'll be handing of f their radar tracks determined to be threatening to a central control that figures out how to deal with it. "NATO?s BMD defends populations, territory and forces in NATO Europ e against the increasing threat posed by the proliferation of ballistic mis siles from outside the Euro-Atlantic area. It represents a long-term invest ment against a long-term threat, and is purely defensive."

Fred are you in the Netherlands? Do you remember the Dutch F16 fighters participating in operation desert storm conquering Iraq? Defensive ? no NATO is part of US imperialism.

Now OK every ant heap has its defense and attack system, so do countries. But we now see US imperialism attack again in Syria, where they have no business to be in the first place and hit them for something they did not do, are basically the 'invader' and that NATO is just an arm of the US imperialists.

the Russian viewpoint (that I support in this) Biden and the MIC sucks. It (US) will probably self-destruct over time..

Yes indeed.

I have a friend who is a field engineer for the Aegis phased array radar the Navy uses. Those large angled flat panels seen on many naval vessels. He was called to diagnose a problem no one within the Navy could explain. The system was reporting a seemingly random return from something only a few feet from the array antenna.

Everything checked out OK. Then someone happened to notice sailors holding wieners on sticks in front of the antenna. It cooked them in less than a minute. That was the source of the problem.

Probably 20 years ago when I owned a small chain of BBQ restaurants, I had a guy that came by the same time every day with a stereo so loud it would rattle things off my display shelves.

I built a stereo destroyer that consists of 4 microwave magnetron tubes, properly phased on a waveguide and heavily overdriven with a capacitor discharge system. I had no way of measuring actual power but I measured relative power by simply hanging a point-contact diode on a wooden stand some distance from the device. About 30 feet away when I had the unit properly tuned.

I overdrove a tube until it arced internally and then backed off a bit. It would set fine steel wool on fire from about 30 ft away.

I hauled the assembly up on my flat roof so I could get a direct shot at the stereo through the passenger-side window

He came by at the usual time. When he was stopped at the stop sign, I pushed the button. Instant golden peaceful silence. It was fun watching him beat on the stereo because, you know, beating on an electronic device always fixes it. :-)

I've used the device a couple other times but now it's stored in the basement. In this beautiful, quiet mountain top I now live on, it has no use. But it served its purpose.

Every military jumps at the chance of acquiring real war operational experience for its troops as long as it's not too costly. The U.S. was paying the bill so that's pretty cheap tuition.

It's getting blown out proportion by both sides. The bombing was just a bunch of trailer like shacks in the remote desert border region between Syria and Iraq. The mission cost way, way more than junk they blew up.
