Had amazing talk with my old friends in January! Was sitting quite and listenning... when guys discussed about - WHO WOULD MAKE Active Array Antena first...

From what I understood. Phazatron is way AHEAD. It has a working design already. IT IS TESTED on aircraft.

NIIP is laggin behind. They have something they call an active antena but put many reservations on that.... they are following Phazatron and even make some of the chips of the Phazatron's antena.

Leninets is just hoplessly behind the race...

From what I understand - Phazatron has designed something, but NIIP has build a line producing small volumes of galium chips needed antena. They need much more of these chips to complete tests... In general Russia is just couple of years behind having a tested antena
