Is this a good idea...giving them the advanced radar ???
The French and the Russians already have the tech and are also bidding their airplanes with AESA sets.
If im not mistaken,the offered radar (APG-79) will be sold to Australia when 24 SuperHornets are leased to them,which is a much smaller deal than this Indian one,if Boeing does win it.THe Indian AF has pretty much insisted on getting AESA radars with whatever platforms they buy-If the Americans don't sell,Boeing or LM can't win.The Euroweenies,Russia or even Israel stand to gain as they don't have such pretensions.AESA radars have been sold to the UAE for it's F-16 Block 60s & Singapore for it's F-15Gs.
Won't matter, it will see F-22's as background noise. Until too late.
It's basically the same radar we sold to the United Arab Emirates in their F-16s.
