Not necessarily, cause we can make arguments of AESA installation on that thing, we do know at least the initial PESA was rejected due to less range and accuracy to 1473, which delayed J10B service, but eventually J10B got some sort of ESA radar, we suspect it is actually AESA.
They seem to think R-77-1s wouldn’t make enough of a difference, actually

they’re right. Until the fm are fixed and they get something with a decent radar, ussr is cooked.
Kinda crazy how we aren’t going to 14.0…
I fully expected this

Then it shouldn’t be too tragic, I don’t have definitive scan rate numbers etc on it though, I’d need to find them.
Are you referring the F15E?
lol that’s BS! 77 has no Sustainer and the 77-1 does
Might yet. Remember f16C and co were 0.3 lower on Dev than live
We shouldve seen:
Eurofighter Tranche 1 Block 5 for all operators with GBU and LITENING, AMRAAM and AIM-9s
Early Rafale C with RBE2 PESA, MICA/Magic combo of the Mirage 2000-5F, and EGBUs with Damocles
lets ignore the thruster difference and the more aerodynamic nose cone.
its more pointy so its scarier
F-15E/I, typhoon, rafale, leaked J-10B/11B etc could all use 14.0

Frankly, even if they are 14.0, it’s going to be a bit rubbish. Really do need decompression.
Typhoons. Brimstone 1 or 2s?
These aircraft were never advertised to receive these missiles and have a lower BR because of it.

It’s also longer and heavier so its worse up close but would be better at range.
The radar shown in the x-ray, along with the specific model of aircraft (according to a suggestion mod that i assume has a vested interest in Rafale) would suggest the PESA model
They do use normal fins so less drag and kill zone at least. Also could wait for R27EA.
Bulannikov actually did one with Chinese media first but yeah, they only showed it if u have Chinese for steam or WT apparently. Honestly wouldn’t take his word for too much. At least according to data mine it is quite good.
15E/I, Rafale, Typhoon are all in their own class as they carry a ridiculous amount of missiles. Its silly to think any of the other 13.7 vehicles are on par
