no

I'm sure that it works exactly as well as it's on paper stats would suggest.

Russia - the country where the only reason they have their only 5th gen in more active service than ever before because they're running out of other stuff to feed to the grinder.

The L-band on the leading edges only has two rows of T/R modules on the array. You can't steer a beam up and down worth a damn with just two vertical rows, it's clearly not a search or track radar.

Yeah

>it's clearly not a search or track radar.
So why have it?
Having a wide scan area early warning radar on a 'stealth' aircraft is self-defeating.

>>65216751
even an F-35 isn't a "mini AWACS", that was always some stupid marketing fluff

the amount of power and transceiver modules that a full-sized AWACS carries just can't be beat by these much-smaller fighter jets
besides, it's the network links that makes American aircraft a "mini AWACS", and Russians don't do that gay shit

because it isnt a stealth aircraft, it's a 4th gen with a big ass radar array. probably for the best, since Russian datalinks suck hella dong. In a nato vs russian air combat situation, any russian gci (since their a50 fleet is gone) will be having their receiver amplifier modules' backs blown out by fat jammer cock.

>So why have it?
To increase RCS if the wings leading edge.

The F-35 cheats by networking with actual AWACs and letting them process the data, basically.
