APG-79 ASE, AESA radar is highly advanced, resistant to most jamming techniques and capable of frequency agility, making it hard to disrupt.

Correct.

So in other words, bottom line, it's extremely, an adversary could not jam that radar, which is another thing that's totally puzzling.

backyard too, but you know, uh, it looks like they've been using Russian equipment for a long time and now they're transitioning to Chinese equipment with a lot more capability.

AESA radar is pretty, pretty amazing.

Um, Like you said, though, I'm curious package deal wise, what all comes with that J-10? How are they going to handle the training from the pilots to the maintainers to all the logistical stuff that goes with it? I mean, dude, the MiG-29 is awesome of an airplane as I think that is.

It's pretty long in the tooth.

Yeah.

At that stage, I'm not sure the Eurofighter's AESA was mature, whereas perhaps the RB2 was a little bit more mature.

The captor radar on the Eurofighter came along a few years later.

Yeah, yeah.

So there is something fundamentally wrong with how we've approached that, what should have been a quick and easy change.

But Angad, is this beyond the engine about the AESA radar not talking to the weapons or the integration of the...

We're talking about the Mark 1A, right?

I mean, ironically, I think this is going to sort of repudiate what Shiv just said about my ability to get into nuts and bolts.

This is an inability to define... requirements, define capabilities and execute them.

So what the issue is, is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Because if we solve this issue, if it's an AESA radar missile issue or a jammer issue, whatever it is, we're solving a symptom today, right? That this plane gets fixed and we hit production, we hit delivery.

But until we figure out what's going wrong and how we approach development and production, Until we get that right, this ASA stuff will keep coming up.
