Thank you for the reply. Yes, average output among the radars you mentioned may be similar but it still makes no sense to me why for example the
peak power of a Hughes E-5 (F-94c) or of an AN/APS-21 (F3D-2) is described with 200 kW while the latest Irbis E (Su-35) has a peak of 20 kW, an AN/APG-81 (F-35) of about 17 kW, or the Raven of the newest Gripen "more than 10 kW". Is it really just a matter of pulse repitition?
