The point i am making is that pulse doppler radars are obsolete and pakistan's f-16 block 52 have better radar than lowly zhuk-m
so what the heel was it selected for??
For china which has only pesa radars and will be moving to aesa soon??
The Block-52 radar will not provide any generational leap nor advanced capabilities as opposed to the Zhuk variant in use with the IN. Similarly the BARS PESA on the MKI, contrary to popular belief, does not provide any appreciable advantages over the mechanically scanned radar on the Pakistani falcons.
The Chinese are progressing upon the back of that aforementioned 3-4 decades of slogging. We are a good decade and half plus behind on that game and trying to make that leap in a considerably shorter period. The intricacies involved in such an exercise require for consistent and persistent, sustained efforts- the type of which is being carried out atm.
For a comprehensive comparing between radar systems you need to find the RCS specific detection ranges of the radars concerned among other things and even then such a comparison needs to be qualified by involving other parameters.
