I looked up in other forum pages and other websites
Websites like military periscope state that the radar is using GaN and is the reason why its able to push more power and have more range
Other websites to say the same but most of the sources they used are chinese source and i have a hard time believing they are legitimate sources

The people in the forums say they have sources but most of the time those sources and images arent really related to the J/APG-2 specifically

Yeah the only thing i can track it down to is a single chinese translation of a TRDI article (Which I honestly doubt exists, because I can not find it on any archives, or referenced by any JP sources). And even then it doesn’t even explicitly say it’s for the J/APG-2, it’s just an image of a “High power GaN Module”, which like, it is in the correct wattage and size to be believed for the J/APG-2. But the fact i can’t find it, and everything i can find is development by toshiba is…

According to an interview with Commander of ADTW, Miyawaki Toshiyuki. J/APG-2 uses GaAs.

kinda wish the 5th and 7th pylon have LJDAM too, since you have to sacrifice another 2 AAM-4 for 4 more LJDAM. i mean it’s nice to have 4 AAM-3 with 8 LJDAM and sniper pod, but other get better/more AtG munition with ARH and IR.

i dunno. i kinda wish it got more for the Ground BR it’s right now.
