HI SANCHO
i have posted the link of RBE 2 pesa radar detection range in my thread
AESA Radar
While the first 100 or so Rafales were fitted with the early Thales RBE2 radar, the most important sensor of the next generation Rafale will be the new Thales RBE2 AA active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, which will replace the passive array of the RBE2...
...
In air-to-air mode, the RBE2 gives a tracking range beyond 60 nautical miles against a 30-square-foot target, with detection ranges up to 75 nautical miles. The radar can track and prioritize up to 40 targets simultaneously and engage up to eight with Mica, and soon Meteor, air-to-air missiles.
well i am not defending myself
it is impossible for anyone to post 100 % accurate info about those aesa radars which only an airforce professional can only know

Please don't Troll !!! It's a nice and informative thread.
yes f18s radar is better but nothing else. and superior radar is of no use for us if we are not offered tot of that.Please don't accuse me of trolling. There was nothing in my post to suggest so. If you read the thread, the author even admits the F-18 is superior, then uses some DOD report that is not verified

The F 18 has better engines, better range, and the new version is comparable to the silent eagle version. Radar is the most significant or on par investment as weapons payload.
The "superior" engines doesn't make the F18SH supercruise capable, nor even complying to the minimum flight performance requirements of IAF. The F18SH has inferior range and because radar it one of the most important parts, it's crucial for us to have a good AESA that allows us full operational freedom according to our needs, but the US even wanted to put restrictions on the use of LCA with US engines, which gives you an idea about the restrictions on using in their fighters and techs. If at all, the RBE 2 is slightly inferior in detection range, if the latest evaluations are true it might be even more than comparable to US radars in MMRCA.

75 nm = how many km??
you can do your maths buddy
my safest bet is around 170km /180km (imo)

i dont think jf 17 engine rd-93 can churn out enough power to power the aesa radars you mentioned...@Echo_419 I did not asked for opinion in first place, second It was not about Russians providing it or not. I only asked @DrSomnath999 about capabilities it will add n how potent it will make a JF-17 if a Raven or Zuke AESA is added? Just wanted a non biased opinion from Indian side. Not trolling.
