And here you were downplaying SAAB system of PAF for having 240 deg coverage system and a decade later you are buying the same...

WE know the blind spot of our system and its strength. It was the right tool for the right job at the right price sans sanction

IAF had a bad experience with its Russian based hardware against PAF in the last skirmish in Kashmir. The magazine claims IAF had to play catch up against PAF whose Saab AEWC had greater situational awareness against IAF.

If I am not wrong same Russian platform was fitted with 'Phalcon' system from Israel. Almost every Indian was optimistic at that time and celebrating that now PAF won't be able to take-off from their basis. So the time has proven they were totally wrong. Al-hamd-o-lillah, PAF proved it's mettle one again.

Erieye covers 300 degrees not 240 you can check saab‘s promotional video on YouTube for the reference

As already said that we are short of AEW&C aircrafts and can cover around 12 hours/day. The same reason, IAF is in hurray to buy AEW&C aircrafts.

For a very small incident (Mig 21) if people do feel so much fake proud then I have nothing to say!

you should really say nothing ....just accept failure.

Even Better. Just telling what Endians have been crying about. PHALCON having jet engines, flying higher, longer, 360 deg coverage, longer range more powerful system ETC ETC....

ERIEYE is serving its designated purpose to the full

They will be integrating a 240 degree flat panel array radar.

unlikely flat panel project is separate to this one, it will be a fixed radome comparable to Phalcon in performance...

Indian equivalence of swedish system is netra with flat panel...

That article was in 1993, Erieye was not even around than,

Users of Phalcon = India

Users of Erieye = Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, Greece, Saudia Arabia, UAE, Thailand, Pakistan

Go figure....

technically, Erieye is inferior to PHALCON but you have quantity advantage as of now.
