While dated, John McCain has personal experience with Vietnamese radar.
True enough, and because I despise the man, I’m tempted to make a snarky comment at McCain’s expense. But in addition to being made in bad taste, it’d also denigrate the one time in his life that he was undertaking a job that I admire.
Even still, it seems the Vietnamese radar is not as formidable when attempting to track an aircraft that’s 150+ miles off it’s coast.
