So it’s as powerful as the Aim-54? The Aim-54’s seeker can pick up a target drone from ~39km which is half the size of the F-16 to my knowledge.
r-27 is rated the same
“It can detect a target with radar cross-section (RCS) 3m2 at up to 350 km when searching in a narrow FOV, 200 km otherwise.[6][7][8] In track-while-scan mode, the radar can engage two targets with semi-active radar homing missiles”
3m2 is still a decently small rcs. bigger jets like f15 will be much likely detected earlier
even tho r37m max range is 400km, you wouldnt shoot if the target is more than 300km away (like aim120a in game can go max 80km, but you wont shoot it at 50+ km)
i was unable to find this anywhere online. could you link me where it says this?
my comment on this thread from the day the post was made got flagged as off topic by a butthurt commieboo despite it being on topic and my exact thoughts.
its actually pathetic how mad people are on this thread damn
What its this nonsense? The Range of R-37M on Su-35s has nothing to do with Radar. But the characteristic of the plane. A R-37m Shoot from a mig31 near mach 3 at 25km alt. Has different energy than it being shoot from a Su-35s going mach 2 at 20km alt.

but also with radar…
“The R-37M was designed for a different type of aircraft – the MiG-31BM Foxhound. This supersonic interceptor operates with the N007M radar. In Ukraine, Russian combat aviation actively uses the R-37M mounted on the Su-35 Flanker-E fighter, which is, however, equipped with an Irbis-E radar. It is the radars that contribute to the missile’s contradictory effectiveness on the battlefield.”
"The Zaslon-M (mig radar)radar operates at a higher power level than the Irbis-E (su radar). It flaunts a peak power output of approximately 400 kW, a stark contrast to the Irbis-E’s peak power output of 20 kW. This increased power allows the Zaslon-M to detect targets from farther distances and with enhanced accuracy. It also enables the radar to penetrate electronic countermeasures more effectively, making it more resilient in a combat scenario. "
work it with what carries it and you have a target slution of less distance… use google man
useless but they got power outputs right… Funny how you dont check facts stated from multiple sources just pick one that suits you lol
peak power output of zaslon M is unknown, i would like to see a actually credible source stating its 400kw because thats ABSURD amounts of elec required to run it.
peak power isnt really that useful alone, avarge power output would be a better indicator for the performance of the radar.
True but a lot of people that work in the military news claim that it is capable of it i prefer to use data they provide then use no data at all ^^
Well even f-16 can do that to a target high up and big as hell if you tell me what Irbis detected then i will be thankful.
trust me, you wont get 400kw power output from 2 rd33.
it was a target drone to test the radar, so i dont know exactly
best guess i have seen is that since the manufacturer of the IRBIS says it can detect targets with an RCS of 3m^2 at 350 to 400km, that the target drone was likely at a RCS of around 1m^2
They can charge up a battery or something over time, which can then release short burst of 400kW for radar
400kw is still a HECK LOT. i dont think so radar can be cooled at such high powers
400kW probably only for very short bursts, not extended use
Man. Irbis Radar its one of the most powerful radar to date. It also have one of the higher Peak of not GaN based AESA.
That is Irbis with 5kw Average. On Chinese Su-35s. In that video someone even said that it was a tested for China. Normal IRBIS has 10kw Average
Here some calculation done by some Radargeek aka StealthFlanker.
The red one its suppose to be the AESA on Japanese F2. And Ftr same guy did Simulation on Su-57 main GaAs radar and in his calculation it just follow the same as IRBIS.
IF you are arguing that R-37m its limited by IRBIS. Imagine all these radar and Western plane that have worst detection range and Usually relied on AWACS. For long range shots.

idk where you got that information from and i dont really see why russia is evaluating a radar for china,
especailly when russia had the su-35 in service before china
Is it J/APG-1 or J/APG-2?
I got it from the video that img come from. I’ve see that video posted in a lot of places.
Here some info in Chinese of the radar. This image also come from a video. I just can’t found the video.
Same with the 10kw avg. but even some Serbian source i remember they change it to just 5kw avg.
J/apg-1
