Grifo-E isn't the top performer, but it uses the latest technology base (e.g. GaN) as some of the other EU radars. But I'd try to get a few for testing/demo JF-17s at Kamra so that the PAF can build its knowledge base. Since Pakistan is apparently working on its own AESA radars, knowing about what each vendor is now really important from both an ops and industry perspective.Grifo E is not the most advanced European tech by a mile.
It will be totally leapfrogged by the Mk. 2 AESA radar that is in development for the UK version of the Typhoon. I doubt whether it is any better than the Chinese AESA on the JF-17 Block 3.
