Perhaps, but a small boat (and I'm using that term quite loosely in this
case) could get lost in the ground clutter... Even if they get it on radar,
they still have to find it... Anything that would slow down the aquisition
of the craft would be worth it... If they are lucky, it might slow it down
enough that they could get to land...
