Dear Journalists, do not disclose its location, thanks.
The system can identify aerial threats at distances of over 450 kilometers
It will have to be somewhere up high, because otherwise it could never get a decent range due earths curvature. Even at 3000m elevation with no obstacles in your line of sight you only get ~200km line of sight. For high flying airplanes its slightly less of an issue, but for low flying drones that is a real problem.
Over-the-horizon radar is a thing.
Does it use atmospheric reflection or what?
EDIT: Yes it apparently does. Fancy tech.

@supersquirrel @kevinrns It’s almost as if the US is purposely prolonging the war.
