It's claimed that Saab is at the forefront of AESA radar design employing gallium nitride (GaN) technology, having pioneered the technology with its latest iterations of the Giraffe ground- and sea-based radars, electronic warfare equipment, and with the Erieye ER S-band radar employed in the GlobalEye surveillance aircraft.
Who claims this?

I had read some articles from some Sources which were Claiming this.
I don't know how true it is though.

Saab is mastered in propaganda and lobbying
Don't believe everything they say
They do make tempting offers

Same goes with most Defence companies from countries like China, USA, Russia etc. They are known to do such Propoganda and Lobbying as well too. Anyways Gripen along with full Transfer of Technology and some other stuff is pretty tempting to be fair but there is no way that we will be buying Gripen From SAAB. They sell AWACS to Pakistan. Also upcoming Tejas mk2 will have similar Capability to Gripen and even better in some Ways. No need to Import a fighter like Gripen.

None of the articles claim SAAB is foremost in AESA technology.
By the way Raven ES-05 is made my Leonardo and not saab.

GaN/GaAs based AESA has been proliferated a lot. It is no longer the cutting edge technology.

There is nothing Saab can offer us technology-related but only can help about efficient manufacturing and nothing else
They won't be selling the critical tech which they have and neither we want them
We have developed most and in due course of time it will mature

We are making our own Gan based radars and Stuff so we don't need help of the Swedes in any Ways.

Depends on what components you are using GaN for , some use it only in amplifiers , others use it for , some components are better with LDMOS

why amca's rudders are not made like f22 ??
Even I thought that they earlier had the trapezoidal rudders like F-22

But they seem to have changed it to more F-35ish slanted rudder.

I don’t know much about it whether it is stealthier or more aerodynamic rudder design, but they seem to be better obviously else they would’ve stick with the trapezoidal one.

Twitter is full of Mentally colonized people who always think that Bharat can't do anything on its own, if it does then it will always be piece of shit, and hence we should always import or do some stupid JVs and throw billions of dollars to a foreign company.
Self loathing Indians are
Especially on SM
without knowing complete picture.
They won't do anything to bring change while keep complaining

Not just Twitter, a section of DFI thinks on similar lines too.
