It's all very well to apply handwavium multistatic techology that you

just
happen to have in your hip pocket but how are you going to guide a weapon
using it? Inquiring minds...


You can kill easily any stealth bomber that you can detect,track and even

for ATR purposes at long ranges, even a F-86 can do the job easily.
But the real beauty of multistatics is the ability of tracking targets

without
alerting them.
Also completely passive nature of tracking makes receiver/processor

units,by
far the most expensive part of any multistatic system,virtually immune to

HARM
type type attacks.


Go back and take a look at '50s vintage fighters. Managing an intercept on a
high-subsonic bomber using strictl GCI-only at night was a bitch and it
failed. Often. That's why the F-86D et al had on-board RADAR.
