What a wild, fascinating and, as a Brit, a rather satisfying read.
So much luck, intelligence, perseverance and engineering.
I believe still today we have some of the world's finest radar and navigation tech etc?
- defrost 2mo agoThe US, UK, AU, and Russia have been back and forth on leadership relative to some metric or another wrt Over the Horizon systems throughout the post war period. > the world's finest radar and navigation tech Hadn't realised the UK had a sat nav constellation up (nav tech) and .. are we counting Starlink as radar tech? * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-horizon_radar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-horizon_radar * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbp3kdJZ1_A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbp3kdJZ1_A
