Могла обнаружить американский F-15E за 270 км: РФ призвали возобновить производство РЛС «Жук-АМЭ» для истребителей МиГ-29М2 и МиГ-35С

"Zhuk-AME" was supposed to have a movable antenna array

A forgotten project for the MiG-29M2 and MiG-35S fighter family is the "Zhuk-AME" airborne radar. It was based on a promising active phased antenna array with microwave transistors, noted military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

He noted that the "Zhuk-AME" radar was expected to provide MiG-35S or MiG-29KUB pilots with the ability to detect targets like the Typhoon FGR.4 at 200 - 210 km, and targets like the F-15E — at 270 km.

At the same time, unlike foreign radars with a fixed antenna array, the "Zhuk-AME" was supposed to have a movable array, which would provide the ability to view the side hemispheres with a 15 - 20-degree coverage of the rear hemisphere.
