Hi ... yes ... the AOA limiter override switch is clearly marked Cobra in English ... its on the panel to the right (and slightly below) the HUD repeater.
I understand the point you make on the software which runs the radar. However, it seems silly for Lockheed-Martin to demonstrate a less than optimum radar image to some of the most experienced aviators in the Indian Air Force who flew the jet ... let alone aviation enthusiasts like me. Remember, Lockheed Martin is campaigning very very hard to win the MRCA deal to supply the IAF 126 jets. Demonstrating inferior radar capabilites (that too on an older non AESA equipped jet) makes little sense. Also, if they were showing me something inferior ... I am sure they would have mentioned that that the radar resolution provided to USAF pilots was actually better. The last thing Lockheed Martin or Boeing want to do is shoot themselves in the foot when everyone from the Swedes to the Russians are hard-selling their jets. I may add ... the quality of the strategic relationship between India and the United States has gone well beyond what exists between the US and many of its NATO partners. Security protocols which may have existed have certainly changed in many instances.
Let me enquire once again ... this may take some time
Cheers
Vishnu
