Usman,
so you are saying its wrong because you have been proved wrong? Dont u think bit more coincedence that detection range for grifo-M has been quoted as 111 km which as i said before is max dectection range against large RCS targets. Also notice how it accurately has the data for asv at 102 km as it has been noted before. Also the link has info on look down range for grifo-m which is quoted at 32-37 km so look up should be around 50 km IMO. Unless you have concrete evidence to prove otherwise i think that data is quite accurate.

look down range against fighter sized targets is 32-37 km it says right there in the website….

You might be confusing Grifo-7 with Grifo M. The last time I checked Janes, the detection range of Grifo M was stated to be 111 KM. I have also talked to some PAF Mirage pilots, none of them would give an exact figure, but just that the detection range (for Grifo M fitted on Mirage-III’s) is 100-plus KM.

Plz read the thread before you actually reply thats detection range against frigate sized target 1000 m2 not against fighter sized targets.

The earlier/basic APG-66 has a range of 35 miles (56 km) in look-down mode, which provides clutter-free indication of low-flying targets. In the Up-look mode, the range is 50 miles (80 km).

once again thats not the detection range for fighter sized targets thats max range.

sigh were does it actually say grifo-m is as capable as apg-68??? all it talks about is Grifo-F being as capable as apg-68 even thou the 2nd link you posted suggested there were problems with grifo-f and says its better than apg-66 (but doesnt say were it could be superior tracks or greater avail modes fyi). Unless you have proof to refute mavaustin’s link or my info from finmecca IMO grifo-m’s detection range is around 54 km because thats what most of sources have run into have said .

Don’t get so excited, Dagestan still may get Palma, it’s scheduled to be operational only in 2007, anything can happen.
Currently the ships which have been nominated as possibles for Palma are the new corvette 20380 and the new frigate 22350.
There is no doubt, that currently the most advanced and potent missile/gun CIWS is Kashtan/KashtanM. Palma is a cheaper sidekick which can be installed in smaller ships, an opt-electronic Kashtan without reloads 😎

20380 corvette has kashtan along with 2 ak-630s.

NCG info

The mission of the 350-member Mauritian Coast Guard (MCG) is to ensure the safety of Mauritian fisherman, prevent smuggling, and protect the marine environment. The MCG inventory includes two Soviet-built surveillance craft, the CGS Rescuer, and the CGS Retriever. Both vessels carry cannons with 1,000-meter-plus precise-target air or marine-surface strike capability. On March 30, 1993, the MCG purchased a 210-ton Indian-built seaward defense boat. This vessel is armed with two Bofors 40/60 guns and carries a thirty-two-member crew. Acquisition of this boat improved the MCG’s coastal surveillance capability. An Indian naval officer commands the MCG; an unknown number of MCG personnel have received training from Indian naval instructors.

i doubt IAF will look procure PAC-3 or Antey or Arrow currently, the mainly priority right know is to fix air defense grid it makes little sense trying to purchase missile defense system right know till vintage soviet SAMs are replaced. First look for IAF to purchase spyder or vl-mica for shorad and akash for medium range SAM.

looks like two back to back radar…
is this the mineral me radar?
