ZHeN Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 That is not a radar, it's one of the L402 arrays which is the PAK-FAs ECM suite. heh, and what is an ECM suite anyway ? it is actually a radar :) emitting jamming signals what amazes me is that this "L402" index is so known in the west :) I guess the reason of this is english wikipedia page about PAK FA, which got this index from a famous sci-fi "journalist" Petr Butovskiy. you won't find any mentions of this in russian aviation society "KNIRTI" (the developer) and "SIGNAL" (the producer) - both subsidiaries of JSC Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET) - never mentioned this "L402" index too :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

It's build to passively receive the emitter and then emit altered returns on that frequency, it has very different working principles.
