Nope, it is a mechanical one, ZHUK-F is the PESA one

It’s sloted aray
We have ground PESAs on Pantsir and Tor, and I think Anemone on Super Etendard supposed to be PESA (?).

Yes, and ASRAD-R has a 3D AESA

Is there someone who could please explain the F15 HUD for me?
If I look at this picture, there are some things I don’t understand in the highlighted red square. I can see a bar which goes from (I assume) from 0 to 10. I believe this to be Miles in steps of 2.5. So the HUD would provide me with the distance of the target, which would be 12.8 miles. However, the range doesn’t change on the scale. There is also a 40 which I thought was the closure speed in kts. But 8 m/s would be 15.6 kts, so I don’t understand where this 40 comes from.
All based on this picutre
Spoiler
40 is the ranging scale in nautical miles

It’s F-15E right? I am surprised. i thought that it cannot maneuver and flies like Tornado.
why would you think that lol? it’s an F-15 with even more powerful engines
Because it’s even heavier and has those CFTs increasing drag
While it’s an agile aircraft for what it does it’s not really known for it’s maneuverability. More or less every pilots who flies an E model Eagle (or against it) says so.
it is a normally a PESA (since standard 3, which in game is a mix between -3 and -4), have been made on a similar basis than RDY, to replace the previous mechanical Agave (but both can be mounted on, when one is in maintenance)

It’s heavier than a C-Eagle and less agile, but it’s still a hell of a lot more manuverable than people give it credit for. The -229 engines in particular more than make up for any weight difference between the two types.
For this particular airshow, the wing pylons are completely removed, which decreases the drag cause by the CFTs significantly, and I can almost guarantee the CFTs were locked out prior to refuel so its running less fuel weight than a full upped C model as well.
Nice pitch up rate and video, but short.

He expalins pretty much everything.
F-15 should be 12.7 BR in RB/SB.
Remove 9m, remove 7m. 11.7-12.0 with 9J and 7f.

In this case it will perfectly fill the gap between F-4E an future F-15C which definitely will have max br. And will be USAF line counterpart for F-14 from USN line.
9 J?
bruh that will make it j35ex with radar missiles
F-15 is too good to be sit at 11.7-12.0 even with that loadout.
-Has insane flight performance
-Has really good radar and RWR which gives amazing awareness
-Has tons of countermeasures
-Has 8 missiless
-Has Vulcan with 900+ ammo which is one of the best gun with insane amount of ammunition
İf anything F-15 should’ve been 12.7 from the beginning, if i can perform with Mirage4000 at top tier with worse radar( it doesnt have all aspect PD mode) and with less countermeasures im pretty sure F-15 will be fine.
