That's the way the AA10/Mig-29 combination is designed to work and it is very formidable. But, outside the former East or Russia today, the AA10/Su-30 is just another target to be serviced in a timely manner.

I couldn't have answered this question better myself, thank you.
The Russian radar sends out more of a pulse which is easily picked up on are radars. Thus the AESA radar is opposite it sends out less of a pulse which isnt picked up, but is Way stronger and is ABLE to see, planes,tanks or whatever it needs be, from far away.
