15 km is too low a range for a mraam , obviously it is not right because if the missile travelled for 60 secs and covered 15 km then the average speed would be approx 250 meters per sec . I think the nag missile travels faster!. The r-73 travels further I think.

Most probably the radar we developed with the French for the anti ballistic missile system would be a version similar to the Master M3R AESA radar . The picture of the radar depicted in this page is the Master M radar which is a planar radar.
