Ok so its a relevant value then
Irbis power is pretty well know, I was mostly pointing to the N036.
Oh i am aware of irbis
Its more arou d 7.7kw average output for byelka hmm
I wonder what peak output is
Is that piotrs?
Yes
Oh i have read it :D
No PDF’s online sadly
modern aesa have these features yes, its unknown if the NO36 has LPI, my point there was that the capabilities have been improved over the generations. only info i could find on NO36 output is a peak of 11kw from the page that is above
which is interesting because it invalidates a lot of his claim, as AN/APG-77 is known to have a peak output of 20kw and that was before recent improvements
F/A-18C/D AN/APG-79(V)4

i don’t know anything about both jets but i guess the Su-57 could have the better radar because it’s more advance and have new technology ?!
while the F-22 still have 1996 and 2011 older radar technology !?
peak radar output barley matters
here is a great example
the Mig-25 has a peak radar output of 600kW dose that make it the best radar in the world?
-no
The picture is easy to find in an image search - here’s one of the articles dealing with it -
he explicitly said
which is false with AN/APG-77 having nearly double to peak output
it does matter though when comparing radars of similar technology and capability
Avarage power is a much more important value, where the N036 has more than the APG-77
Not really
That is not the peak power in the image, I’m pretty sure it’s avarage power + cooling. Keep in mind that if a radar receives 10kW, it won’t use all of it due to inefficiency.
Neither really tell much nowadays but as the other guy said, some radars have insane peak power but their avarage power will obviously be significantly lower.
to me that reads as peak power, because peak power is more important for an installation than average power (which also isnt really a well defined thing because it depends heavily on operating mode)
