S-35s。。。。。。

[Deino]

Nice ... are these for the PLAAF - and as such JL-10 - or for Zambia ?

I heard the L-15 radar are PESA.

 

[Deino]

I don't think so ... not even a real radar itself. As a trainer they only need a ranging or weather radar.

The video claimed L-15 is capable of precision strike, engine is FADEC. Performance is comparable to 3th gen(western 4th gen).

The test pilot claimed inside the radome of L-15 contained a radar which allows to perform all weather combat role. Trainer usually do not have radar but he claimed L-15 will fit with radar. He did not mention what type of radar but from picture, it looks like PESA since doppler pulse do not looks like that.

 

[Deino]

O.k. ... that is new to me !
