The Coriolis effect on bullets amounts to some inches, while the effect of the wind could be even greater than this figure; that is why the UA proponents are justified to call into question the Coriolis force on projectiles.
The adepts of the UA hypothesis might even deny the existence of satellites, thus they do not have to explain the delay of the signal from the GPS satellites to Earth, which is caused by the Coriolis effect of the ether drift.
But they cannot deny the existence and current use of ring laser interferometers.
The original interferometer built by Michelson and Gale in Clearing, IL, measured 2010 ft x 1113 ft: the laser technology has permitted a great reduction in size of the interferometer to just a few meters.
This is the original paper published by Michelson and Gale in 1925:

Here is the derivation:
However, this the CORIOLIS EFFECT formula for light beams.
Full derivation of the above formula using the CORIOLIS FORCE:
https://www.ias.ac.in/article/fulltext/pram/087/05/0071Dr. Ludwik Silberstein derived the same formula in 1921:
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=30499.msg2068289#msg2068289In 1921, Dr. Silberstein proposed that the Sagnac effect, as it relates to the rotation of the Earth or to the effect of the ether drift, must be explained in terms of the Coriolis effect: the direct action of Coriolis forces on counterpropagating waves.

Dr. Silberstein developed the formula published by A. Michelson using very precise details, not to be found anywhere else.
He uses the expression kω for the angular velocity, where k is the aether drag factor.
He proves that the formula for the Coriolis effect on the light beams is:
dt = 2ωσ/c^2
Then, Dr. Silberstein analyzes the area σ and proves that it is actually a SUM of two other areas (page 300 of the paper, page 10 of the pdf document).
The effect of the Coriolis force upon the interferometer will be to create a convex and a concave shape of the areas: σ1 and σ2.
The sum of these two areas is replaced by 2A and this is how the final formula achieves its final form:
dt = 4ωA/c^2
A = σ1 + σ2
That is, the CORIOLIS EFFECT upon the light beams is totally related to the closed contour area.
In 1922, Dr. Silberstein published a second paper on the subject, where he generalizes the nature of the rays arriving from the collimator:
http://gsjournal.net/Science-Journals/Historical%20Papers-Mechanics%20/%20Electrodynamics/Download/2645In 1924, one year before the Michelson-Gale experiment, Dr. Silberstein published a third paper, where he again explicitly links the Coriolis effect to the counterpropagating light beams in the interferometer:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14786442408634503Thus A. Michelson knew well in advance that he was going to actually measure the Coriolis effect and not the Sagnac effect.
But Michelson, a Nobel prize winner, claimed that the CORIOLIS EFFECT formula was the SAGNAC PHASE SHIFT formula, thus ensuring that for the next 90 years the RE would always win the debate on heliocentrism vs. geocentrism (not even the proponents of aether theory could not dismiss the MGX since they would have had to explain the fringe shifts measured by Michelson and by every ring laser interferometer since 1925).
Bilger et al (1995) and Anderson et al (1994) used the Sagnac phase shift formula derived by A. Michelson, which was actually the Coriolis effect equation.
H.R. Bilger, G.E. Stedman, Z. Li, U. Schreiber and M. Schneider, IEEE Trans. Instrum. Meas. 44(2), 468 (1995)
R. Anderson, H.R. Bilger and G.E. Stedman, Am. J. Phys. 62(11), 975 (1994)
However, the use the phase-conjugate mirror has allowed the greatest breakthroughs possible in ring laser interferometry.
Thus, the correct formula for the Sagnac phase shift for an interferometer located away from the center of rotation became possible:

One is proportional to the velocity of the rotation (radius of Earth x angular velocity) and is an electromagnetic effect modifying the speed of the light beams; the other is proportional to the area of the interferometer and is a physical effect on the light beams.
