Yes, but nowhere near what we have achieved with EM waves

Well it can if we think of rear aspect but not much for frontal, actually you wont have much chance frontally if you are going at higher speeds than ~0.9 mach as air friction would cause the skin to heat up.

No, he is talking about detecting the Su-30

You can get firing solutions from IRST too, but it would be locked into only 1 aircraft. E.g Leonardo Pirate IRST

i wanna see the widescreen *gaming* display 😳

Hmmm, i doubt

Exactly, somewhat external sensors for the 5/5.5/6 gen aircraft, making them able to combat without risking the main aircraft

it is also dependant on how good your radar and return dB is, (lower the return dB, lower the minimum signal that can be detected) T/R modules increase the resolution and protection against EW, also makes you able to allocate more antennas for EW or ED That's why peak power is important

Yes, you wont be getting a weapons lock without a radar lock, but there are some "modern" instances where you can use other aircraft radar via datalink to guide your missiles, we can give Kızılelma using TF-X radar to launch a missile as an example

i would say that Su-30 has a bigger RCS, (around 8-10 range)

Yes

Well, you don't. that's why low RCS is important, (if you want 1/2 detection range you need 16 times less RCS) You wont be locking on to a Kızılelma from 100 km while you can to F-16. Also 400km figure is the instrumental range, not detection or so

so you mean a radar based on 5th gen tech? Then yes. And also yes i agree with your post

Umm yes, but F-35/F-22 can(and does) allocate more power for the radar, also better cooling. Look up 83 Vs 80

it is not like they are not attempting or using, most of the airborne AESA's used today are products of early 2000s, technology was limited and GaAs has limitations

Power usage for both can be found from statements, i have found the 83's power usage from a Greek document and MURAD from DefenceTurkey. Also for other stats i have used statements again, tho i used older T/R modules from ASELSAN, it doesn't change much

Derived doesn't mean it is being used by them. Also SABR has lots of limitations, mainly power usage and cooling

MURAD? Nope

is that a Hürjet to the left of MMU? You can see the red-white wing(?)

Uhh we still didn't see antenna array of any of these (MURAD and SABR), but with information we have, it is clear that MURAD is better
