The Arrow 2 missile approaches the target at a maximum speed of Mach 9, or 2.5km/s, to a maximum altitude of 50,000 m.

Thales offers latest missile detecting radars to India
French defence major, [b][u]Thales has offered an across the board technology transfer to India in state-of-art radar knowhow to help New Delhi move speedily towards bridging the gaps in its air space coverage, specially in detecting low flying intrusions.[/b][/u]
Undettered by the recent US efforts at political level to muscle into the lucrative Indian market, Thales with an almost 50 year presence in India has set up an Indian subsidiary and is also offering to set up joint ventures in the country.
Jean Paul Perrier, Chief Executive of the 13 billion Euro multi-European company, Thales said his company was now offering to India its latest three dimension Herakles multi- function radars for the Indian Navy’s latest range of lethal indigenous P15 and P17 type frigates.
“The radars have the capability to detect incoming missiles, aircraft, helicopters as well as low-flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’S) as well as guide missiles and other weapons to deal with these threats,” Perrier told visiting Indian newsmen as the company unveiled the latest range of radars at Lnemore facility in the city suburbs.
The Herakles MFR-30 can perform in any weather conditions and have back scanning capability enabling it to release missiles to intercept incoming missiles threats, a capability which Indian armed forces lack so far.
Though US efforts at political level have caused some ripples in the French Defence industry, which is India’s third largest arms trading partner, Perrier told PTI that Thales was not unduly worried over the American onslaught.
“French companies will not shy away from competition. All we want is a level playing field to let our weapons platform and systems speak for themseleves,” he said.
“We were pitted against the Israelis, who could not match our systems and we are confident that we can outmatch any new bidders” Perrier said.
India was to procure 19 LLTR’s under the deal with the rest to be manufactured by BEL under full technology transfer. Though there is no no official word from the Defence Ministry, high-level defence officials said the Israeli bid was rejected as it did not not meet Indian qualitative standards.

India’s Green pine radars
India has alredy bought the Green Pine radar form Israel :
The Elta Green Pine early warning and fire control radar for the Arrow system can [u]detect targets at ranges up to about 500km and is able to track targets at speeds over 3,000m/s. The radar illuminates the target and guides the interceptor missile to within 4m of the target. [/u]
The Arrow Weapon System features a state-of-the-art EL/M2080 L-band radar, Green Pine, based on the decades of experience in developing technological solutions for early warning and fire control defense systems.
The Elta Electronic Industries subsidiary of IAI Electronic Group developed the Green Pine early warning and fire control radar for the Arrow system. The radar carries the designation EL/M-2090 and includes the trailer mounted radar and antenna array, the power generator, a cooling system and a radar control centre.
Green Pine is an electronically scanned, solid state, phased array radar operating at L-band in the range 500MHz to 1,000MHz, and was developed from the Elta Music phased array radar. The radar operates in search, detection, tracking and missile guidance modes simultaneously.
The radar has the following features:
Phased array L-band radar
Dual mode operation – early warning and fire control
Long range acquisition capability – several hundred kilometers
Simultaneous tracking of dozens of Tactical Ballistic Missiles (TBM)
Clear discrimination between TBMs, aircraft and other missiles
ECCM capability
Transportability
India has placed an order for the supply of two Elta Green Pine for use with India’s air defence system against ballistic missiles. The first was delivered in 2001. The Green Pine Radar system is already deployed in India. The radar system, developed for Israel’s Arrow anti-missile missile, is a transportable ground-based multimode solid-state phased array radar, capable of predicting impact points of incoming tactical ballistic missiles.
The Green Pine radar’s strategic value along the Indian-Pakistani border is reportedly inestimable. “It covers all of Pakistan’s military command centers and bases between Islamabad, the capital, and the Indian frontier. The system reportedly provides India with surveillance of Pakistan’s nuclear centers and missile sites.

If the full fledged 3D TVC from the Mig-29 OVT is offered for the Mig-29’s in the MRCA tender, along with this new Bars radar and all the new stuff on the navy’s Mig-29K’s and if it has a provision to be fitted with western aveonics (like in the MKI) i see no reason why the Mig-29 cannot win the MRCA deal…..and hopefully they’ll add technology transefer & licence production to it to add iceing on the cake

Mig-29 OVT’s TVC : 
^^ this is the Franco-German ANF.
To my eyes, the pics in sinodefence and this look very similar.
Could France have sold the ANF to China and could YJ-12 be its chinese designation ?????
