Concern "Radio-electronic technology" (KRET) has developed the latest airborne radar "Zhuk-AME" active phased array, which allows fighters MiG-35 accompanied by 30 targets and simultaneously affect up to six of them, the press service of the concern.
"Concern" Radio-electronic technology "has developed a promising multi-function on-board radar" Zhuk-AME "active phased array for the MiG family. The new radar allows air combat beyond the line of sight, accompanied by 30 targets simultaneously and hit six of them in the air and and four on the ground, "- said in a statement KRET.
With the company specified that new radar enables execution of combat missions in the most adverse weather conditions, as well as in the case of electronic countermeasures.
"The upgraded on-board radar" Zhuk "has already received a certificate of export shape it is in many ways superior to competitors in the tactical and technical characteristics and is designed for installation on the promising aircraft of the new generation, including the MiG-35 fighter." - Said the first deputy general director KRET Igor Nasenkov .
It is noted that the active phased array can increase the detection range of up to 160 kilometers, while working in the "air-air" and "air-land", to recognize and classify group and single objects simultaneously attack several targets high-precision weapons, and send data on the tactical situation on other planes and carry electronic countermeasures.
MiG-35 (NATO codification "Fulcrum F" - the pivot point) - promising Russian multi-purpose fighter generation "4 ++", which is now being tested. 2020 VCS must get 30 of these machines.
Russia's Fazotron-NIIR Corporation (a subsidiary of the KRET Concern) has developed a new active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar for the Mikoyan MiG-29/35 ('Fulcrum') multirole fighter.
The radar, the Zhuk-AMEh, was unveiled at the Airshow China 2016 aerospace exhibition, held in Zhunhai from 1 to 6 November.
The Zhuk-AMEh can track up to 30 targets and can simultaneously attack up to six aerial and four ground targets, a Russian defence industry source told IHS Jane's at Airshow China.
"The jam-resistant radar works even in the harshest climatic conditions and contested areas. The Zhuk-AMEh can detect enemy targets in air-to-air and air-to-ground modes synchronically, identify and track both single and group targets, attack several objects with high-precision munitions, transfer acquired data to other aircraft, and conduct electronic warfare," the source said.
"The receivers and transmitters of the Zhuk-AMEh have been manufactured by LTCC [low-temperature co-fired ceramic] technologies," the source continued, adding, "They are installed on lightweight ceramic plates that allow the AESA a width reduction of 10 cm [with power sources and control elements]. The radar is comprised of three units, namely the AESA radar, a processing unit, and a composer."
The capabilities of the Zhuk-AMEh have been improved by 50% compared with previously developed variants of the Zhuk radar. "At present, a MiG-29 fighter can detect an aerial target at 180 km," the source said, "while the Zhuk-AMEh increases this range to 260 km."
The source added that the new radar weighs about 100 kg and has received a certificate that enables it to be exported.
Some numbers there seems me completely different from what was reported in other sources.Isos wrote:Just watching about motors and comparing rafale and mig 35.Key publishing wrote:Su-35BM: 39.6% ~ 41.1%（Empty weight: 16,500 ~ 17,500 kg，Internal fuel: 11,500 kg）

Not sure abou the numbers.
With the same fuel capacities, Mig-35 has better results. Too bad they didn't increased the number of hardpoints before presenting it to India, so it could use more fuel tanks and targeting pods, guided bombs, like we can see on western fighters.
Chinese and Swedish however loses hard.
