A Daily Telegraph page claims regarding a Type 45 "Its Samson radar, from its current location in Portsmouth, can monitor all take offs and landings from every major European airport."

Seems a little exaggerated to me. Surely most of Europe would be well under the horizon... it may be able to track a high altitude aircraft on the other side of Europe, but low level? Unless it has some sort of over the horizon capability?

Worth including?
