Abu Dhabi's skyline from 49 miles away.. should be 1,600 ft under the horizon on a sphere with a 25k mile circumference... But.. #flatearthpic.twitter.com/KmLy5o9pM6

I listened to about 30 minutes. I respect his opinion but I think he is leaving a couple of things out. Maybe he discussed them somewhere else.
Full disclosure I was not a Sea Spaorrow tech and admittedly it has been 30 years since my basic radar training, but I don't think the rules have changed that much.
Quick search:
Sea sparrow was developed as surface to air defense with a range of about 50 kilometers. Not the 50 miles that was used as an example. That is a bit of a difference. But 50 km was the published range that I found. I do not know the maximum effective range is. Obviously.
One thing to keep in mind is terms used for range, i.e. Range, horizontal range, slant range, etc. These are subtle but important differences in terminology.
As an estimate, the horizon is about 15nm +\- But you have to take into account the hieght of the radar antenna, the height of the target and various other factors to get the true range limitation of a radar system at that given moment.
Also, there is a difference between a surface search and a fire control systems as the gentleman pointed out. But it is too deep of a discussion to go into in the middle of the night typing on a phone.
Basically the missile, radar and target are not, let's say 10 feet off the water. This can make a significant difference in line of sight range.
Let's assume the antenna is 100 feet above the water and the incoming missile is in the air (obviously), I think it would be a safe bet that line of sight distance is not going to be the limiting factor in the maximum range of the weapon.
Like I said I only listened to about 30 minutes of the conversation. So I am sure I missed some new discoveries in the discussion.
Just to be clear, my question about Tomahawks and ballistic missiles is a far different scenario than a line of sight missile defense system designed and used for SAM defense for shipboard use. Not even close to being used in similar fashions.
They made a big point about the fire control radar using a pencil beam that does not bend or reflect off of the atmosphere. I used the example of VHF line is sight and HF long distance communications in on of my many questions.
Same principle here. If there is no curvature of the earth, why are there huge range limitation differences?
I am curious about one thing though. You were very quick and condescending in dismissing my questions and articles as I did not discover the principles of RF propagation, Schuler Tuning, Schuler Oscillations, Eotvos, slant range, GPS, etc on my own. Somebody taught me those things -gasp.
But you want to try to use a person with similar training as a gotcha. I find that curious. .

Confirmation bias. It supports his point, notice I said supports, not proves, and thus it has to be the truth. Anything to the contrary is wrong because this person said so. Be careful though, if you back him into a corner he may threaten your life as he did mine.
I keep going back and forth on who Bushy really is.
I am still leaning towards Z. I think he his using this thread and others to set up making outrageous claims and statements then going to the political thread and spouting off to make conservatives and Trump supporters look looney.
I could be wrong. I usually am and aware of that fact.
Edit to add : Either way I am going to do my best to not let him troll me anymore.
I have personally used all of the examples I have brought to this thread in real world scenarios and know them to true.
I am not dependent upon YouTube videos and memes from others for my beliefs or my "proof."

LOL. The fact you are calling myself an SJW like you did last night is laughable, and shows your idiocy. I've been on record in multiple threads hating those wastes of human life. But by all means, please keep making a fool of yourself, it is really getting entertaining now. Just don't hurt us, Hammer.
