The fins are visible in the picture above. Indranil: in the pics I've seen so far, I can't make out the fins. If you look at Agni-2 pictures, the fins are prominent Agni-2 has a blunt nose RV, it creates a wider shockwave. Hence, A2 needs bigger fins for trimming. In A-P they are for a different pu...

Re: Su-30MKI: News and Discussion - August 9, 2014
A modern AESA radar (designed with the current tech) should weight less than a much older PESA design. It will also be more efficient, and within an unchanged power and thermal margin, https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C_Iz_KixYuA/WyUPJ_ivJRI/AAAAAAAAT14/sln5oA3H9UMB72vbTPJflMRo_Fmfw6AtQCLcBGAs/s640/MMR%2...

Re: Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft: News & Discussion - 30 August 2019
South Korea seems to have made a fairly weird trade with their radar. They don't have a slick RCS optimized aircraft yet the radar seems to be sized quite conservatively. The first prototype that was C-130 tested had just a tad over 1,000 T/R modules and ultimately they want to work up to 1,200. Gi...
