Size matters

Yes... more T/R ,more power.

The video of J-20, J-16 and J-10C from PLAAF's weibo:

May the J-16 radar is bigger than the one on J-20 due to the enormous nose cone of J-16. Therefore more raw power. Maybe also the reason why its price tag is more expensive than J-20.

J-16D is more expensive.

 

[JohnWick]

J-16D is more expensive.

You mean 4th gen is exp than 5th gen.

 

[LKJ86]

You mean 4th gen is exp than 5th gen.

You can consider the price of E/A-18G.

You can consider the price of E/A-18G.

Its a growler with exp electronic ware fare pods which results in its high price.

It is the same to J-16D.

J-16D is Chinese Growler.

It is the same to J-16D.

Any news concerning the J-16D?? mots recently we've only seen images of the J-15D.

Actually...No, regarding the highlighted. You can put out as much raw power as you want no matter antenna/array aperture size.

There is an inverse relationship between antenna/array size vs BEAMWIDTH.

https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/mis...kKg5P/content/radar-course-3-radar-principles

Essentially, the larger the antenna/array, the smaller the beamwidth. For the image above, the radar with the larger beamwidth would see two targets as one. This is applicable to the older as well as newer ESA technology.

When I was active duty and on the F-111, one of our training penetration tactics against Soviet air defense radar nets was to fly close together and at low altitude. Often the F-111 pair would fly in a trail formation, one after the other with the wingman at a slightly lower altitude. We trained this way because we knew Soviet radars were not as sophisticated as ours. We knew their radar characteristics. If they detect us, they would not know how many incoming. For the F-111 from RAFs Upper Heyford and Lakenheath, the jets would be nuclear armed.

Raw output power is not the reason why we want larger antenna/array aperture.

Many Chinese pilots capable of flying J-20, J-16, J-10 fighters

 

[Deino]

You simply don't get it and once again you start a new thread just for a video and a topic that nicely fits into the regular PLAAF thread??

Is this pure stubbornness? ignorance or arrogance? How often did we already talk about this; how often did you get a warning and how often did other moderators intervene to persuade NOT always to start a new thread?

I must admit; I need to be a bit nasty on a certain “unique” issue

A more or less well known member at several forums from India asked me for a review copy of my “Modern Chinese Warplane” book, with the offer, it would surely be of interest in India as well and that he would publish a review – maybe even several – in return ....

So, said, done ... in the meantime, several weeks have passed and now – after I asked him once again, what will become of his promise in return to the not quite cheap delivery to India – he answered not me, but secretly my publisher: In India, nobody wants a review on a book in which wrong maps showing India in the wrong borders were used or shown.


Again, he gave neither me nor the publisher an explanation but now I found this - forgive me - funny scheme:

Although it is explicitly stated in the text that these territories are "controversial" and that the book "explicitly" shows the Chinese view of things, it seems to be irrelevant.


What a kindergarten

Maybe just change your background to not include a map of China ... you could instead have more Chinese warplanes in the background or something.
