if your radar can’t pick up a dual prop plane, it may be time to check your radar. Also what do they mean ‘for the first time’ certainly not the first time ever, not even the first time this year. Do they mean the first time since the argument over the islands began?
Also what do they mean ‘for the first time’ certainly not the first time ever, not even the first time this year. Do they mean the first time since the argument over the islands began?Hm, in the article, it says
The airspace over the Senkaku Islands had been violated twice before—by a Soviet bomber in 1979 and a Taiwanese civilian aircraft in 1994.If that is true, this has been the first time that the Red Chinese have done it.
If the prop plane dropped to under 50 ft altitude, the radar would not spot it unless it was within 20 miles or so.
This was a probe and the escape was certainly pre-planned.
Remember a German kid made it all the way to land in Red Square in a Cessna, against a Soviet air defense system that was the largest in the world.
