The 3rd NETRA Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&CS) that is owned by DRDO but operated with help of IAF crew and used as a Technology demonstrator (TD) for the Program might be on its way to officially being transferred to the IAF in the coming months.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the world's smallest dedicated AEW radar in service no?

Check out the Erieye AEW&C in service with Brazil as the R-99. It's also mounted on the EMB ERJ-145 regional jet.

Just going by looks it seems the R-99 Version is at least 50% larger, also safe to assume a Swedish radar will be much more powerful than DRDOs first try

YOU are free to assume whatever you want. It doesn't make any difference to the real systems in the real world.

Yes, exactly my point, just wonder what the utility of having such a small radar on a small jet and how it can help in combat (it failed in a big way on Feb 27th).
