Yup, that's pretty much all in radar 101.But I believe that they cannot provide accurate targeting solutions. Pinpoint the location of flying objects.
Long boi waves = longer range but poor resolution
Smol waves = shorter range but high resolution
So the only way to use a longer wavelength radar for target engagement is to send a missile with active radar in the vague location of the target and then the on board seeker of missile does its job.
Again...possible but not feasible.Your suggestions to neutralize OTH radars are welcome.
I would like to add one more suggestion.
Will a detonation of a very low yield neutron bomb in the ionosphere covering the area of interest put the OTH radar out of operation for a short time.
A very low yield neutron bomb mainly releases high energy charged particles which will interact with the ionosphere and temporarily disperse it.
There are targets that are considered "equivalent to nuclear attack" like the Three Gorges Dam in China. So even if you attack them with conventional weapon, that country would perceive it as a nuclear attack.
And here you're using a nuclear device. No matter how safe of a neutron bomb or how much miligram TNT equivalent bomb you use...my guy, you would be paying quite a spectacular price for jamming just one OTH radar.
