minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoFor those doing the maths at home: An F35 who obligingly flies top-towards-you (not exactly something you can do, but hey, maybe they’re turning) is all of 10m tall. An AIM-120C can very comfortably hit a target at 100km. At that range, the F-35 takes up 26 arcseconds, or 0.007 degrees. That’s roughly about the size of this period, at a distance of 3 meters away. [ . ] Good luck spotting that in a sky of roughly the same colour, full of other objects.
