so would you like to tell me who told you 200 km tracking range is for 10M2 target???
ITS MAXIMUM....MIND IT...!!!!!!!!!
and here you can check what vayu sena is saying..now do ur calculations and i will see how you do say that MKI can detect and track earlier..
The Su-30MKI Info Page - Vayu Sena

so mr.hunt before accusing me of being an ignorant about difference in tracking range and detection range...look above...!
Sir, Thats wat m saying ..... my numbers are same as those in ur link. 200 is the max tracking range. & my calculations are correct. West uses a standard 3 m2 rcs while describing the range of radar while Russia uses 5 m2 or 10 m2. For Example ZHUK ME on MIG-29 has 120 kms range against 5 m2 RCS target.
200 kms is the max tracking but my calculations are based on the tracking range for F-16 Block 52. Block 30/40 can be tracked by BARS at 160 kms.
"Su-30 can Track F-16 Blk 52 [RCS 1.5m2] at 140 kms."
