Oh lord. If you think naval aviators require visual ‘landmarks’ in their MFDs to identify bearing, heading and kinematics properties of objects tracked by their targeting systems, then you probably don’t know anything about avionics.
Those graphics on the bottom and the sides of the MFD tell the pilot everything he needs to know about where an object is (in relationship to his own craft), its heading, its speed and its altitude and it does it all without relying on fixed landmarks.
“Those graphics on the bottom and the sides of the MFD tell the pilot”
Exactly. They tell the PILOT, not random people viewing the video on youtube and then spouting “it moved in ways that aren’t supposed to be possible!”
But you are also neglecting to take into account that exactly the point where people claim the objects are moving in ways that are unexpected is when target locks are lost, so the data you refer to is actually missing for those key segments.
You’re right...
