Ceilings, and (knowing when satellites are passing overhead) when things need to be under ceilings.

- londons_explore 6y agoI assume that most militaries have satellites with radars that can penetrate most ceilings to see planes in hangars etc. Most militaries also have access to some high orbit satellites that have 24x7 coverage of an area, and then some low orbit satellites which fly overhead every few hours and can grab high res shots. The combination makes it very hard to sneak a secret plane from one building to another between orbits, since the 24/7 coverage will see it (albeit at lower res).
- dylan604 6y agoThere are materials and building techniques that do not allow radar signals to reflect cleanly which severely weakens the radar image. It just so happens the military is pretty aware of this. If the military wanted to hide from a radar scan, they would have the know how, the means, and the desire to do it.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoYou're going to have to define "most" I'm pretty sure "no" militaries have 24/7 coverage of any area on the planet.
- nitrogen 6y agoGeostationary weather satellites have 24/7 coverage with low resolution. It's inconceivable that there isn't a single military with higher resolution 24/7 coverage.
