I know i might be beating a dead donkey here but i really want to know the facts here.
Russia is priding its with its Nebo making derogatory remarks against US stealth fighters. Here are some of the claims
"The intent of this new radar was to extend the experience gained with the Nebo SV, and produce a design capable of detecting and tracking Very Low Observable (VLO) and Low Observable (LO) aircraft designs. Like the Nebo SV, this development project was led by Igor Krylov at NNIIRT. He was interviewed by Russian television in 2002, cite: "We can see the Stealth [F-117A] as clearly as any other plane"."
It seems quite an impressive radar incorporating modern technologies such as AESA and modern platforms such as COTS software etc. They seem to say that the radar can actually be intergrated with Russia's modern missiles such as the S-300PMU2.
It seems also the radar is designed specifically to counter the F-35, how true is this? Most of the technical language in the article just flew over my head, can someone explain to me in 'English' what this system really means to US's stealth fighters. I have tried looking around but couldn't get anything really.
Please help i need the facts on this issue as someone presented me with this system and is convinced Russia has hit a jackpot here against the US's stealth fighters.
Here is the conclusion of the article:
"In conclusion, the world's first mobile VHF AESA presents a credible capability and introduces all of the refinements seen in modern L-band and S-band acquisition radars into a VHF band design. The claims of a viable capability against conventional VLO/LO designs should be taken seriously [2]. The 1L119 Nebo SVU will provide a credible capability for a range of roles, including its use as a battery target acquisition radar for the S-300PMU-1/2 / SA-20 Gargoyle and S-400 / SA-21 Growler Surface to Air Missile systems."
