Yes, well, if you look at the MiG-35's AESA range quotes, you'll find that the claims for the Bars are a little exaggerated.

Whats the relevance here? they are not even manufactured by the same company
Also, in general, I'd put the difference between performance characteristics of PESAs and AESAs a lot closer than slotted arrays and AESA/PESA.

Not a real factor...will be used against HVA's, not fighters.

You wish and desperately hope; but with TVC, you never know.

And by then, the tiffy will be equipping the much better meteor

Said tiffy expects meteor by 2012, said r77 is expected by 2010. Again, the bias is getting a little old - russian = poor, western european = better, american = best.

Poor analysis can certainly lead to such a conclusion.

And what conclusion does a biased/prejudiced analysis lead to?
Quote:
The MKI -does- have a more powerful radar.
Russian avionics, however, have never been up to par with western avionics, and that means a lot.

Riiiight, some more "my daddy bigger than yours stuff", esp. since the MKI uses a whole bunch of french/israeli/indian avionics related items. Moreover, it wouldn't matter if russian aren't as good so long as they meet the end goal.
