What would we do without our "good allies" the Russians?

It's more of a passive-aggressive radar. From the web page
Passive-aggressive pattern:
- Aggression comes out in indirect ways
- Sometimes agrees to do things for others and then doesn’t follow through
- Often feels pressure to perform, and has expectation and fear of failure, procrastination
- Also passive-aggressively defeats his own inner critic, so can’t discipline self
- Fails in a way that indirectly expresses anger and defeats others in order to preserve autonomy in the only way he feels he can, because aggression is not allowed
Sounds like Saddam's military strategy to me, especially in relation to UN resolutions.

First, it's the Ukranians, not the Russians (they don't exactly see eye-to-eye, but neither of them see the US as a friend). Second, while the technology does exist to detect and track stealth aircraft from useful ranges, the system can't provide enough resolution to target stealth at useful ranges, and thus "active" radar or IR must be used (at the reduced ranges/effectiveness they're effective at against stealth).

Kolchuga is a weapons system?
It tells ya' what is up there, doesn't do a damn thing to jam or attack! The aircrew doesn't know they're being seen, but they should know where they are.
(sigh)

Known as passive radars, they are reported to be able to locate all types of aircraft - including stealth aircraft - while themselves remaining virtually undetectable. Passive radars are not vulnerable to HARM missile attack, since they do not emit any signal. They monitor existing VHF/UHF TV transmissions and cell-phone tower transmissions. A stealth aircraft may absorb radar directed towards it, but it will cast a "shadow" if it flies between a TV tower and a passive radar station

Ukraine's opposition is staging a second day of protests Ukrainian Foreign Minister Anatoly Zlenko is to hold urgent talks in the United Nations, following allegations that Kiev approved the sale of advanced radar systems to Iraq. The socialist are his opposition. Now, aren't they the same group of liberals who claim Iraq is not a threat? If he's not a threat, why are they at all concerned? They should be happy the wealth is shared.

What's passive radar.

The British successfully tracked F-117s from the Gulf during Desert Storm using low band search radar. The fact that that would happen has been known to Lockheed, the Air Force and quite a few other people since initial susceptibility and emissions testing was done on the Knighthawk.

Passive Radar? Is that what the Ukrainian navy uses to target passenger airliners flying over the Black Sea? /sarcasm

Mr Shlapak said there was still no proof that Ukraine has illegally sold weapons systems to Iraq.How Clintonian. He knows damned well whether they sold weapons to Iraq.
