People often compare airborne S-band AESAs with naval systems without understanding aperture physics. An AWACS may be a massive aircraft, but its radar usually has large length and limited height. That means the effective 2D aperture is still far smaller than naval multifunction radars like EL/M-2248 MF-STAR or AN/SPY-6. In radar engineering, beam precision depends on aperture geometry, not platform size. Warships also bring advantages aircraft simply cannot: Far higher continuous power generation Massive cooling capacity Larger planar arrays Denser T/R module packing without worrying about weight That is why naval S-band AESAs can achieve true engagement-quality fire control at long ranges, while airborne S-band radars are optimized more for surveillance, battle management, and missile support rather than ultra-fine terminal precision. I hope people stop getting carried away by pakistani claims of guiding PL15 through AWACS.
















Israel is legally required to invoke a force majeure clause if it intends to delay Radar meant for India to prioritize it's own industry Otherwise it will trigger financial penalties embedded in contract If HAL hasn't received a contractual notice of delay, and the MoD hasn't revised the timeline, then the delay hasn't happened yet and it's all speculation Saying again - what you have written CAN become true and has good logic but should have been published as Op-Ed since it's based on speculative "expectations" Majority Junta is not opening your article, simply doompilling based on tweet headline Peace ✌️



Fresh problems for LCA Mk1A alphadefense.in/index.php/2026…







This is not about one or two institutions. Most private colleges/ universities in the Meerut–Modinagar–Ghaziabad, Noida belt focus more on PR than on delivering real substantial results. honestly, it’s not really their fault. India doesn’t underinvest in science bcz..












🇧🇷 Brazilian Navy's H225M helicopter rescues the crew and passengers of the #omni @AirbusHeli H160 that ditching in the sea today near Cabo Frio (Rio de Janeiro) during an offshore flight to the oil rig with 8 crew and passengers. All were rescued by the Navy helicopter and conducted for medical evaluation. No injuries reported. @marmilbr @AirbusHeli @helibras @YBarille @LPetiard @belen_morant #H160 #helicopter #crash #H225M #Aviation #avgeek #avgeeks
