IAF shopping for 450 Aesa Radars

I am tempted to say Lca Tejas

I have not heard of this deal before.
I wonder how much dependable this report is
 
The just released World Radars Market Report reports the following deals relating to India:

IAF Receives Rohini, a 3-D Acquisition Radar, from BEL II-47
India Plans to Install 45 Doppler Radars II-48
India and Israel Ink Radar Co-development Agreement II-51
India to Purchase Next-Generation Maritime Surveillance and ATC Radars II-53

I have not seen the full report ($3,950). Some other deals reported on my blog are:

Indian Air Force Gets Russian-Israeli AWACS
Indian Air Force Buying 37 Helicopters for Over US$ 2 billion
Israeli Aerostats for India
 
This is the key line in report

"for the Indian Air Force’s future combat aircraft acquisitions, with the principal contenders hailing from the US (Northrop Grumman and Raytheon)

I think the IAF is indicating it wants approx 450 Radars and is sounding out all the AESA market from

USA Europe Israel & Russia. PESA Bars

The planes that may be equipped with these i resume are india,s future acqusitions but may include

230 SU30MKI = Current Russian Radar

LCA = being tested with ELTA 320 mechanical Radar Israel. But IAF may need 100+ Radars for first 6 Sqds..

MRCA = 126 planes have to have AESA as a prerequisite to win the order.

Just my guess
