So far you have exactly zero sources official or unofficial
In other words – i was right, you aren’t able to provide any reliable source on APG-77 specs. Ok, got it.
aside from yourself and your inexplicable distrust and dislike of stealth technology.
Another one Straw man argument. Where i expressed dislike towards stealth technology? I just don’t see it as some wonder-waffe, in contrast to you and some other adepts of “invisible and invincible stealth”. Reminds me Vietnam era hype. Ended up with thousands of planes lost.
I don’t know what you think your source says or how you think it backs up your claims but it doesn’t and getting back to the original argumentative post you made….
It does. You just can’t admit it. As well as you can’t admit you confused experimental Zaslon-M on experimental MIG-31M with upgraded Zaslon at MIG-31BM in RuAF service.
All of this is irrelevant to the SAM range analysis, which works equally well even if the range isn’t for narrow scan. However, even Russian wikipedia makes mention of the ‘100 square degrees’, which to me means 10deg x 10deg, and seems to reference a since removed niip pdf. Also says 150km ‘Dogon’, lost in translation.
Wikipedia…

Nope, the same article mentions an export designation but does not state that the spec is for the export version, nor that there are two specs, and nor does any source. That’s mere assertion on your part.
Again, that’s only your assertion. The only evidence is of a WVR shootdown, which in no way proves a vulnerability in stealth besides what was obvious, i.e. not stealthy WVR.
So it sounds as if the operator had tried twice to lock it beforehand but it was too far away. I rest my case. Nothing to do with missile range.
It sounds like another one “true story”. There are many of them and each declaring itself just like that – true story.
As is most of your posts regarding what is an isn’t right, e.g. your disbelief of RCS figures.
There’re RCS figures from SAM producers and military. Not some cheap advertising in the media like CNN or FOX.
Your claims about SAMs being able to lock F-22/35s at longer distances than assessed from the available numbers. In fact not one thing you’ve said has a thread of logic or proof to it.
Than come to Syria with your F-22/35 and check. LOL
I just gave a source above, which comes directly from an interview with the SAM operator. Now where’s your evidence that these SAMs can lock stealth aircraft well outside optical range?
I don’t see any direct words from operator – only journalists statements. In other words – speculations.
It’s actually pretty quick and easy scanning lots of ground with a modern electronically scanned array, especially when satellite surveillance has already told you where to look and given that there’s an S-300 system at Nellis AFB, I think they know exactly what to look for too. As regards pop-up threats, yes I’m aware, but you wouldn’t deploy a large SAM like an S-300/400/500 for that, you would employ something like a BUK/Tor/Pantsir in the regions between S-X00 coverage and have them pop-up on the command of the larger SAM radar, except with stealth aircraft, the large SAM radar won’t be able to see them in those gaps, so the system falls apart.
You’re sooo deluded.
But at what range?
