Unfortunately these reports are nothing when compared to the information given by military insiders and the defense companies themselves.
- The AESA on the J-11B, not all of which have been retrofitted, are developed by the 607 institute and is the same model as the one installed on the J-15 and J-16
- It features 1760 T/R modules
- It can track a 0.4 m^2 target from 280 km away, meaning that it will be able to detect a 1 m^2 target from 450 km away or detect a 0.1 m^2 target from 250 km away
- Anything with a grey randome means that it has an AESA radar
- The test pilot of the J-10, Lei Qiang, said that the J-15 uses an AESA radar
- The idea that China relies on Russia for radar systems is absurd since they have had far more experience than the Russians in AESA radars and have deployed and developed far more models
Buddy judging by Flankers nose, 1200 T/R for an ESA is at most. In your own museum there's this ESA called PPAR (PASSIVE PHASED ARRAY RADAR) used on J10B.

Antennas NEVER exist on AESA. The IFF are counterintutive to a AESA design who use radiations being controlled via gallium arsenide nodes than thses Fishhooks.
