In addition, the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-68(V)9 multimode radar increases the distance of airborne engagement by 30% over the older system, and affords the Sufah with a high-resolution synthetic-aperture ground mapping capability.

I wonder how come they are not getting the APG-80, agile beam, electronically scanned antenna system that we are selling in F-16's going to the United Arab Emirates? That's top of the line.

By the way, I worked on the design of the APG-68 and I've been retired for 13 years.
