L band and X band each have advantages and disadvantages. Thats why countries are moving towards dual band radars.
Yes but one in radome is usually X band aesa radar & in leading flap edges of Wings L band aesa radar not both to have an entire L band radar in radome .No country is placing L band radar in it's Radome usually X band aesa radar is 1st priority
For comparison the Tikhorimov L band AESA radar has detection of 1 m^2 targets at 130 km and 0.1 m^2 targets at 75 km.
The area of an entire radar cone is much larger than just the wing tips the Russian ones use.
Russians to have X band AESA radar in it's radome not L band
so an entire L band aesa doent sound wise enough
