And? İt doesnt mean anything in slightest.
İ was there when Rafale discussion started on old forum and ever since that i kept following and participating in this discussion.

Then you joined us longer ago as I implied in my first reply. Which is fair enough.
It’s nice we continue to have agreement on things.
We dont.
You claimed that i just joined Rafale community while i basically explained i was already here.
Not the same thing.
I never said you just joined.
In-fact I implied that you could’ve joined us long ago, which includes years.
You even replied to the post.
İn your first post you only said:”Glad you joined us” which basically says you just welcomed me, after that you edited your first post and added new context.
İ mean at least be honest and accept the fact that you made a mistake once buddy, its not that hard.

Dude, not sure why you’re starting an argument with people you agree with…
I’ll keep being honest as always. There’s no mistake in my post tho.
Whatever makes you feel better Alvis…

Thats why ended the discussion.

if anything, it’s still better to have a RBE2 PESA than a RDY. Basically more reliable and a much higher refresh rate (and maybe more scan angles too, but idk about that).
Range on that is a bit limited however, but that’s why RBE2 AESA (2013) exists

Responded in the wrong thread?
no i was avoiding off topic in the Gripen thread, since RBE2 is Rafale’s stuff

scan angles on all fixed phased arrays suck. You get maybe ±60°, but more likely is ±45° before transmission power, and thus range, drastically falls off (scan loss its called). Mechanical radars can somewhat easily get ±70°

on the sides yes, but i was thinking of the vertical scan angles, i’d take ± 45° instead of a 5° slice any day of the week X)
PESA wouldnt have great advantages in that regard either. Yes they can change direction instantly, but dwell time puts a hard limit on how fast they can move while still detecting anything. The time to scan a given volume isnt really that much smaller than a MSA, though they could do fancier scan patterns.
Biggest advantage of a PESA will probably be track revisits during TWS.
