In a dense fog/bad conditions an helicopter with no vision aid will indeed see exactly diddly squat even if it is flying at 300 meters of height.As any pilot will attest.

Whereas a radar system on the ground will see much further than it becausese radar waves penetrate fog (which incidentally can play some tricks at least with some thermal sights). Understand?

And if visibility is **** and the both have radars they will see only as far as their radar can see.

If the radar mounted on the helicopter is not more powerful and capable than the one on the ground it will not see further (not at the ranges we are talking about anyway) even if it is sitting on Himalaya. There will typically be fewer obstructions but that's it.

I can't make it simpler that the above.
