IAI Phalcon IL-76 AWACS. IAI EL/M-2075 Phalcon uses the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), an active phased array radar. AESA radars have very short to instantaneous scanning rates, which makes them difficult to detect. It was developed with a partnership between Israeli Aircraft Industries and Elta Electronics Industries, of Israel. India bought 3 IAI Phalcon AWACS Radars on 10th October, 2004 for a cost of 1.1 billion US$. The platform will be the Ilyushin Il-76 sold by Russia. Russia was supposed to provide IL-76 aircrafts to Israel by 2007 but it has not yet delivered the aircraft and will be able to do so by mid 2008. The deliveries of Il-76 fitted with Phalcon AWACS to IAF is speculated to be somewhere in mid 2009, earlier date being mid 2008. This pic was taken at DefExpo 2008. Image Source:

The F-22 can avoid radar detection
US House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman, whose panel has hitherto prevented the sale to Israel of the F-22 stealth fighter jet, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that he was open to removing the sales restriction to boost Israeli deterrence.
The F-22 “Raptor” has long been regarded as a tremendous potential asset in any Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, given its ability to penetrate even the most sophisticated radar and other defense systems.
