thats wrong it is upto the mark as it had started production with upgrades like operational aesa radar many other upgreades
That's marketing for you... going by that Su 35 had an AESA Zhuk-A ready much before.... I would like to point out that their developments in Phased Array both Active and Passive antenna rivaled that of US however declining economy and political issues put the developments off track by 10 years or so else If they can make BARS in 90s they can surely make an APG-77 in 2000.
by that time heavy wt boxer gets ready Medium wt boxer could have evolved further bagging more tricks & techniques in his kitty
All it takes is one knock out puch for the medium weight...
LPI is not only dependent on power management
but also
a) compression of pulses
[which comes with power management]
b) increasing band with of pulses
[aperture size large antenna high gains]
c) reduction of secondary lobes
[which happens when you distribute power to side lobes]
the fact is PESA cant achieve LPI efficiency of an AESA no matter how much u boast
Depends on the construction of antenna its design and power source
""Sidelobe of a radar has a demerit ,enemy jammers usually inject false target into it's radar through it's sidelobes & Spectra is
a master in it""
from this only one can guess how authentic ur claims about detection of Rafale & spectra could do nothing ???
This is where signal processing, receiver path, low noise and high gain antenna comes into play... I hope you have seen the computer of BARS radar.
" can" is a meaningless in the sense as we should debate on present scenario ,future scenario has no authencity in it .
Russian selling AESA radar enabled SU 35 would be suicidal for them only as they would Copy paste into their own jets for ex J20
Thats another question.. what they might do is unknown to both of us... hence the debate is somewhat baseless.. we only have Ideas just like any other member here.
but their package would contain only russian system but our rafale package would contain even foreign systems like weapons ,Laser pods & even systems like CFT on demand
agreed Indian package could have Israeli, French, Indian, Russian, and even other European and American parts and systems.
They wont sell Pakfa radar in Su 35 to china that would be installed it for their own planes
We are not fighting with russian air force
Rafale is already having production aesa
