"Запросчик" - is not radar, but "requester" - part of friend or foe system.
NO36B-1-01 L Band radar described in all the posts I've given you is what we're talking about, and you still play these silly denial games. The IFF is part of the package they're describing but not what we're talking about and actually isn't on the wing but on the fuselage. We can go back and forth all day long but I've already shown you more than enough. It's even on the pic I posted that you quoted.
Here it is again one last time, see what it says at the bottom, NO36B-1-01 L Band.
Egypt canceled its SU35 order due to US pressure and fear of sanctions and replaced them with new batch of Rafales.
Where do you get these crazy thoughts from?!?! Egypt never acquiesced to US pressure. That makes a lot of sense for the US to pressure CAATSA for the French's benefit! lol. The 30 additional Rafales are a completely separate order.
What happened was Pompeo tried to convince Sisi and Co. to either stop the order (which was way too late by then) and instead, he offered the F-15 to replace the Sukhois, but Egypt denied the offer stating in an official statement that they thought the Su-35S was a much better platform than the F-15 that the US would've offered. No cancellation or any of that. But I have your quote so that once they're flying in Egypt, we can check back. They're not going to show them off right away and rub it in the US' nose, simply because they don't want to anger them. But eventually they'll be out front and center flying over the Pyramids InshaAllah.
Funny I guess they'll have to put all these brand spanking new Egyptian Su-35S's in storage?
The Egyptian flag tail insignia painted over with the dark camo plain as day to see. It even has a newer radome that is more bulbous to accommodate the powerful IRBIS-E X-band hybrid passive electronically scanned array radar. New information just released is that the 'hybrid' part suggests it's actually a combination of active and passive and is automatic in switching. A lot of incredible upgrades that many don't know about unless you follow the developments closely.
So essentially it has 3 separate radars it can use, the IRBIS-E as the main radar, the leading wing edge AESA radar but that's at best half the range of the IRBIS-E, maybe even less around 120km-150km and of course, the IRST.
They had 5 already painted and ready for testing back in March of 2019. The agreement was settled in 2018 even.
