I find this very hard to believe.. if you know how a hand-held radar unit works..

How far away was this "jet" and how fast was it traveling, there is no way the hand-held radar was close enough and pointed directly at the jet while it was moving.

These speed radars don't "lock on" to anything, they send out a signal, which is bounced back to the unit and the response time is reported that equals the speed. Once the unit triggered and gets a result, it is off at that point. There is no way they "locked on" to a hand held radar unit. There is a large difference between active radar and passive. And also these hand-held units have a very small cone at which the radars can travel from and back into.

While the story is amusing, and kind of funny, it isn't possible..... IMHO

Very very flawed argument structure, and mostly false to boot. Most of this could have theoretically happened, except that jets flying over Europe probably do not have radar jamming turned on.

You might want to study up on how fighter jet's radar locking systems work, not saying you are wrong, but points in your argument arn't completely correct

The story fail when they say that the missile where going to launch automatically.

In peace time, I can't believe that weapons can be armed automatically no matter the circumstances.

And a hand radar to lock on a Jet?

Oh well, a joke is a joke :p

Since when Sidewinders are air to ground missiles? Sidewinder are air to air Infrared missiles that lock on heat sources.

Why would a Dutch pilot fly a Tornado? There are no Tornados in the Dutch air force and I doubt that the RAF would offer rides on their aircrafts.

If there was indeed an exercise with aircraft and their weapons payload, is the RAF not wise enough to conduct these kind of exercise far away from anything civilian, including a highway?

How much range does a speed radar has? around half a mile ...

If you ask me, the Scottish police needs better radars: the ones they use break down too easily and the RAF needs to polish their excuses so that they are at least plausible

they lock on in the sense that, if your standing infront of me, and i shout in your area, you know generally where i will be...

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
