    Radar can totally be passive, and if you’re flying above enemy territory, it’s a really good idea to use passive radar and not active radar (the latter of which is used for some guided missile platforms).

    In fact, active radar means everyone with passive radar knows where (and probably, what) you are.

      Oh interesting, although that does make complete sense. I’m an old sigs pig so I’m not too clued in on this stuff honestly
