then i think we cant really call it codevelopment. Its more like partially funding.

I think if you want to wait for Russia to produce something in the level of APG-77, you might have to wait a while. Considering the fact that Zhuk-MSF has yet to come out, AESA radar might take a little longer.

WE never know whats the status of russians in these radars. As the less capable versions of AESA( if made in russia ) might never be tried for aircraft test flights till they know the radar is capable of competing with stuff like BARS etc they already have.
