Yeah...do fire control with AEW radar. By the time you get the target location update in the 2nd ping, it would be hopelessly out of reach of any BVR missile's NEZ.Moron, AEWACS can control firing of missiles (BVR) and even guide fighter aircrafts in their mission. So, there is an element of fire control. That is why there is a C in AEWACS (Aerial Early Warning and Control System).
Why do you think X band was developed in first place? If long-wavelength radars like Chain Home can do fire control all on their own?
The tower antenna is VLF/ELF you fool.What is the range of the long tower mounted L band radar?
I was giving an example of how different wavelength requires different size of antenna in order to generate waveform. You cannot generate longer wavelengths like L band using the nose radar on fighters - which is only big enough to generate X band or smaller wavelengths like K/Ka band.
That is the basic point you are incapable of understanding.
It would if you actually put said L band radars on the wing leading edges as done on Su-35 or Su-57. Where they can have enough length to generate the waveform.Also, do you know that we can have L band radar on Su30 too but it would juts not have the resolution of X band? However, it can still detect bogies, just not its coordinates. So, a general alert can be issued without specifically giving the location of the bogey.
You cannot put an L band radar in the nose - there is not enough space.
Secondly, do you even understand what resolution is in terms of radar? You would not have quoted such a foolish statement as saying BARS radar has L-band transmitter if you did.
Abhe gadhe...it appears you haven't a clue about radio in first place. Hand held two-way radios operate in VHF/UHF bands. Which are high frequency and have very short wavelengths relatively - of the kind a small antenna on handheld radio is capable of transmitting.First learn about how radars work. Know that even hand held radios can emit radiowaves and receive radowaves too. It is all about resolution and accuracy that will need different size of radar.
You want to transmit L band using handheld radio?
Never seen such idiocy.
