Su-35SM gets N036 AESA. Meteor is on par with R-77-1.

Su-35SM gets N036 AESA.

Let's see when it comes. Rafale with AESA is a reality as of today.

Meteor is on par with R-77-1.

Really...how's a dual-pulse Ramjet-powered next-gen missile like Meteor on par with a rehashed Adder variant originally designed in 80s?

When there is a Ramjet BVR missile launching from a Su-35, let me know. But until then, Meteor is king. Neither any R77 variant nor any AMRAAM variant comes close. They all probably still have around 1/3 the NEZ of the Meteor.
