Quick question here on the max height and range.
Lets take the Tunguska as the example vehicle.
It has a max range of 4.32 NM and height of 19685ft.
If I am at 20,000 (Not that I regularly go this high, but for arguments sake) feet it will only be able to hit me when I am directly above it, in theory?
1NM = 6076ft so if I am 3.32 NM away from a Tung I would be safe as long as my height added a third side to the 'triangle' that equaled 6067ft/1NM, correct?
Or basically:
Height squared + Range Squared = Minimum slant range before being in danger of lock/fired on?
I might be totally missing the idea here but said I would ask....I have not had a lot of sleep so the above may not be very articulate and I will no doubt get some form of bashing from someone over how idiotic it sounds :)
