Its early for me to say on possibility of Swordfish X-band. Lets wait for some time. Power requirement of X-band would be too high. We are requiring assistance on even extending range of L-band radar so making X-band on our won will be huge undertaking. I think so because Israel has already got their X-band even if operated by Unkil. Plus, MOD will be looking for 4500km+ x-band radar to cover entire China & other locations of IOR.Swordfish is a L-band radar i think. So is there any possibility we can develop a long range X-band radar ?
I never said we should buy THAAD system. I really doubt whether US will give this tech to us. This is their best radar its like selling F-22 to us.
Another point in my mind is Americans might not like giving us X-band because it'll put Diego Garcia on our map.
