Good question!
You are Talking about Flying away from FT-2000's 200km (as
assumed) Range?
ok lets analyze.
Total range of Phalcon approximate 400kms Radius .
Effective Range of FT-2000 = 200 Kms
Detection range of FT-2000 = 350kms
Phalcon's Effective Detection Range when flying away from FT-2000's Range : 400-220 = 180 kms.
So tell me why have you spent 1.1 Billion dollars for such a system which can only Detect and Track for only 180 kms??
And you only would have 3 of them so it is a huge risk and wastage of money you have spent .
Another risk for Indian Ground Radar stations stands out as Pakistan bought Brazilian MAR-1 ARM's.
And another " Huge threat to Ground Radar Stations "
RA'AD ALCM.
This "Stealth " Cruise missile would most likely be used for precision air strikes on enemy command centres, radars, surface to air missile launchers, ballistic missile launchers and stationary warships.
Operational range 350 km
Speed Subsonic
Guidance system INS, TERCOM, DSMAC, GPS, COMPASS
Launch platform Combat aircraft
Warhead Conventional HE or Nuclear

180 KM is lot , but what about you, why u wasted your money on AWACS, If india deployed smiler missile in Indian borders where your AWACS planes will fly ?? in Afghanistan?? becasue in 200 KM whole Pak airspace will be covered? what a waste of money.
It all about measures and counter measures,
B) the Brazilian Anti Radiation missile is Max Range is 25KM, it means your plane has to penetrate envelop of long SAM and Medium SAM and then Short Range SAM...... Oh man
c) India also has land based Super Sonic Cruze missile with 300 Km range, i think it can cover whole PAK from borders..
