minus-square@Skasilink18•edit-211 months ago The radar can detect airborne ICBM warheads up to 2500 miles away. For reference, that’s about 1/10th the circumference of the Earth. In SI units that’s about 4’000 kilometers. The Earth circumference is almost exactly 40’000 kilometers (by historical definition).
