Range 90nm for 5rcs target? Isnt kind of short?

Specs quoted are wrong. It's 100NM for rcs 5, not 90NM. Roughly 195km.

But isnt the radar already adapted GaN.?

Something else to consider is that Western and Russian brochure numbers are often best case scenario maximum possible test numbers that are basically unattainable in the real world. Chinese numbers tend to be more realistic.

Stop hot-linking images. Only post pictures that are either on your server, or a common online server like Flickr, Imgur, etc.

Gaa is a lot cheaper than gan still. I am sure if you pay extra, you can get a gan aesa radar developed, but may not make sense from cost to performance point of view
