#2 It was surprising to me that something like this hadn't been devised earlier. You can keep the attacking unit in a completely passive mode - no pinging - and use cell towers, 24/7 radio or tv broadcasting from fixed antennas as your known locations for navigation. No need to light up the active radar until final approach to the target. And of course, it works for every country in the world - even Burkina Faso has cell towers and radio antennas to use as markers. And turning cell towers off cripples the civilian side of the house so it's a reliable method to use in future.
