Yeah it's kind of odd because the guy in the first video kind of poo-poos the terrain masking idea anyway so it's kind of an odd video to post in a thread about terrain masking.

Using the curvature of the earth, and staying far away from the antenna isn't terrain masking. That's just staying away from the antenna, and staying out of range. Terrain masking is getting down in the weeds, and having to dodge things like tumbleweeds.

A terrain mask refers to the natural curvature of the earth. It is important as a means of avoiding active radar by positioning the aircraft so there is natural earth hiding it from the radio waves sent from the radar system.
