F/A 18E-F In US Navy Service To Be Retrofitted With AESA

[pakpower]

“The added reliability and maintainability of the APG-79 result in lower life-cycle costs and enhanced capabilities for the Navy,” said Tom Kennedy, vice president for Tactical Airborne Systems at Raytheon.

Raytheon, of Waltham, Mass., has delivered 134 AESA radars to the Navy for the Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler aircraft. With this latest contract, the retrofit orders total 38.

PakPower, why are you suddenly posting 1-2 year old news again? I hope you just didn't find that out today that F-18 are going for AESA.

Its quite an old news and as Fatman said, this section is only for Pakistan.

SU30 is a good jet but its not the deadliest fighter jets are judge based on thier battle record and alot of other stuff SU30 isnt battle proven.In Red Flag IAFs SU30 were flying again F16s Blk 40 repeatedly F16 locked on to SU30 with AMRAAMs.All PAF has to do is to fly low to avoid radar detection than suprise em with AMRAAMs and SD-10

The reason SU30MKI is not battle proven is because its a brand new 4.5 generation plane which only arrived in service in 2004...

Is the F22 Typhoon or Rafale or indeed J10 not deadly then. Cause thery have not seen combat as yet.
