That s why PAF should go with Vixen AESA radars with a range of 300+ km will enable it to target enemy A/C with BVRAAMs with considerable range.
From what I could find about Vixen-1000ES is that it can detect a 1 sqm target at 150km i.e. 224 km for a 5 sqm target.
But it's main specialty is its Wide Field of View (WFoV) radar coverage i.e. 100 degrees off the center of view i.e. a 200 degrees WFoV coverage. This is vital in providing mid flight updates to launched BVR missiles even after turning 90 degrees to the original launch path.
But if you have a source that specifies a 300+ km range for 5 sqm target then please kindly share it.
Thank you.
