The PAVE PAWS coverage area is immense!
Here is a map of it (I was at the 6MWS, Cape Cod AFS):
Not at all, _Jim!You're still missing it; this is coverage at-altitude (above 10 or 15,000 feet), dude. Meaning they could not/did not catch the launch.The PAVE PAWS coverage area is immense!
You are aware the earth is round, and radio waves (uWaves, light) follow a straight line (OTH or shortwave RADAR reflecting off the ionosphere for BEYOND local line-of-sight horizon 'coverage')
Don’t waste your time. Some people are allergic to facts.
I bet the reason there is no further intel on this mysterious launch is they are getting every available SOCOM type with dive experience to the splashdown point to findout WTF happened and to either confirm/deny/gather up the remnants.
Anywone mention my theory? ISI (paki intel) got a container ship close and did a demonstration and privately, through INTEL contacts) let it be known that we should not cozy up with their mortal enemy, India, and cease drone attacks?
I doubt the Paki Navy would have the stones to do this, but there are some die hard Islamofacists within the ISI that openly operates against the wishes of their parent governement.
If not, I hope our SSNs are tracking the ones away from the pier.
