Name one. Name me a reason why not a hundred and fifty other countries around the globe.
Well because China is the easy big threat to pick out if ya pro-Mr Bush. There can be a billion reason.
don't think "SD" is the name for the radar, although I'm sure we are referring to the same thing. China actually has three SD-10/PL-12 capable radars, one on the J-10, one on the J-8F and one on the JH-7. The ones on the J-10 and J-8F belong to the same family and made by the same manufacturer in Nanjing. These are the KLJ series. KLJ-1, KLJ-3, KLJ-6, KLJ-7, etc,. The one on the FC-1 is very likely to be a KLJ radar and so is the J-11. This institute, NRIET, also made the radar on the AWACS.
Have it ever come across your mind I was talking about the SD guidance radar too. The SD radar is fundamental different to any other radar.
We do have some hard evidence what the Russians did for the PLAAF radars and their various customizations. It's been described in Jane's by the way. The modification is simple. It allows the radar to use the R-77 ARH missile; the standard radar doesn't. Basically the modification is more of an attachment, an add on subsystem. There is hard evidence---in photos actually---that PLAAF Su-27 and J-11 cockpits contain an extra MFD on top of the basic Su-27 cockpit. This MFD is most likely used with the added radar functionality used to support the R-77. The MKK radar takes this modification further by adding yet another subsystem that supports air to ground weapons. Yet the fundamental system remains the same.
Yes, this is the Radar China brought of Russian. But we still dun have much evidence on the Chinese radar.
Gimme hard evidence comfirming how the Chinese built radar are like then people may belive u?
