H...Congrats DRDO for this wonderful accomplishment! Hope to see this bird in active duty soon with IAF.<br /><br />@Anon 22:38<br />You are right. India has acquired the radar from Israel, plane from Brazil & painted them with Chinese paint. This is because we cannot even produce good quality paint. DRDO is of no use & it should be sold to private entities.<br />But guess what, DRDO is in such pathetic situation because it's lacking great minds-like you! So please don't limit yourself over the internet and come out in open & join DRDO. From your comment, I can make out that you have complete knowledge of not only RADARs but also different paint jobs. <br /><br />However, I will try to answer some of your queries as per my (Indian)knowledge:-<br /> 1) Has India managed to crack the GaN molecule that makes this possible?- We tried, but guess what there was nothing inside. In America, they found out atoms, electrons, etc inside GaN molecule when they cracked it, but our molecule was a fake one(because of corrupt babus)<br />2) Compared to American AESA where do we stand? We do not even stand or sit, we are sleeping.<br />3) Can this radar be miniaturized to be used in fighters nose cone- No, again because of lack of knowledge (pathetic DRDO). So, we have decided to put that hump over the fuselage(spine) of all our fighter aircrafts. This will free up the nose cone area, where we will fit two AK 47s(not INSAS because they are of no use). Leg space will also increase-better crew comfort!Websterhttp://onlinenetgames.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-36734932068891885332011-12-09T20:25:49.164-08:002011-12-09T20:25:49.164-08:00anon@22:38, its amusing you claim India can't ...anon@22:38, its amusing you claim India can't even make standard radars and that the greenpine is painted over israeli tech (what??)when you don't see to have the foggiest idea about this radar or radars in general. the internet is a wonderful thing, ever used google before asking ajai to do your work for you? its not GaN molecule BTW but GaN modules. and no GaN modules are not common yet because of cost, and most AESAs like the DRDO AESA use GaAs modules (Gallium Arsenic). coming to india not making radars, leaving even license produced ones apart, india is currently making 9 radars of its own design. 4 more are in development, and all these 4 happen to be AESAs. at least learn something of what you speak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-37844525613280671122011-12-09T15:13:47.581-08:002011-12-09T15:13:47.581-08:00Hindi date? what's wrong with Julian calendar?...Hindi date? what's wrong with Julian calendar?<br /><br />what's next? <br /><br />hope we spend time in making products Indian than making dates and names Indian and buying foreign maal and naming them like Vijayanta, Bhishma etc..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-13340094819450078212011-12-08T06:20:06.978-08:002011-12-08T06:20:06.978-08:00Cautiously happy!

An AEW&C is probably the most complex airborne radar system and DRDO has displayed very little success in this segment so far.Rahulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-45176471150686019942011-12-08T03:26:38.612-08:002011-12-08T03:26:38.612-08:00If only we could put this atop a proper SARASIf only we could put this atop a proper SARASTejaswyhttp://www.tejaswy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-69805323856849532502011-12-07T20:54:57.395-08:002011-12-07T20:54:57.395-08:00Good effort by DRDO.

Far Far better than doing each and everything on your own and then keep delaying, which would only tarnish DRDO's image. <br /><br />-Sudheendra SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-79884720324490021362011-12-07T11:04:57.557-08:002011-12-07T11:04:57.557-08:00It is truly a landmark occasion.It is truly a landmark occasion.Mr. Ranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-27549333250341659012011-12-07T09:08:36.734-08:002011-12-07T09:08:36.734-08:00I am pleasantly surprised at this development. How...I am pleasantly surprised at this development. However, I am still not sure if we have the type of expertise and fabrication technology that allows us to create efficient AESA radars. India can't even make the standard radars so this will amount to quantum leap in technology. Ajai it would be nice if you do a write up on this subject with more deeper information. Has India managed to crack the GaN molecule that makes this possible? Also, compared to American AESA where do we stand? Can this radar be miniaturized to be used in fighters nose cone?<br />And finally, did we really make this or this is just a paint job over Israeli system like the green pine radar.AKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-15883709350169597122011-12-07T03:31:11.693-08:002011-12-07T03:31:11.693-08:00Congrats for new AEW.
