I was really hoping you would say something similar to a mini mobese network, an AI controlled IR camera network or a mesh network is being developed
Putting all our eggs in ground or air based RADAR basket, that west excels in destroying, seems suicidal.
Unlike RADNET, IRNET would be virtually indestructible as long as it is just a tiny camera mast peeking out of the forest.
What if we lose our easy to detect RADNET just like Iraq, Libya etc. lost and now even the mighty Russia is losing theirs slowly but steadily against tiny Ukraine even with very limited western support.
It would be 100 times worse when we finally have to face Greece, entire Europe, etc. because of 12 miles casus belli.
Or even America due to Israel or PKKistan they are about to declare on our borders any day now with fait accompli PKK state elections.

I hope at least a few thousand IR cameras will be installed it is not that expensive or hard. But then again if I know America they will hack our systems and will find location of each mast even before first bullet is fired. So perhaps a thousand civilian pickups with EO cameras and sungur missiles would be more prudent than military installations/vehicles that scream please destroy me.
