Cool hai ji. :)

Pardon me being out of touch but doesn't it have a phased array radar? Why the rotating dome then?
the structure will have 3 equal sized active phased arrays in the following configuration.
View attachment 494
View attachment 495

As opposed to the distributed array on the older configuration or the newer one.



Or like the older E-3 sentry with the roatating AN/APY-2 radar.

Any specific Indian name being suggested to designate this Awacs with. Since IL-76 is known as a Gajraj, what could be the potential naming for it?

Since its going to be the eye in the sky, maybe a Sanskrit word for something like that. Sanskrit word for Hawk (Baaz) would be good as it has a good eyesight. But then we already have a Baaz in the MiG 29.
