Hi there!
Your information regarding LCA is awefuly outdated,or perhaps your bias is clouding your judgemental capabailities?either way,it is NOT wise to remain ignorant.Here are a few corrections-
(a) The range of the radar is limited to 50-60kms not because of any issues with the radar but because of the "composite radome" that severly impedes the electromagnetic radiations.This is not a grave concern as it can be remedied using a radome made up of quartz(that is transparent to EM waves)- and infact a suitable quartz radome is being implemented on LCA
(b)The AoA of LCA has already touched 26 DEGREES,i repeat again,26 degrees(This was revealed in most recent seminars:Bangalore).
Here i would like to point out that,LRDE is working on their own AESA radar with range greater than 100kms.This project is known as "L-273" or project uttam.This radar will likely have a peak power of <4kW and employ LRDE's PATENTED 4 channel TRMM design(i hope you understand what PATENT means). LRDE's L-273 radar will be better than any radar that PAF can get their hands on- believe!
PS- I can go into greater depths to explain how L-273 would be superior should you choose to discuss this in greater lengths
