Hi all,

There's been talk of Russians making fighter-sized AESA radars since 2005-ish, when they first showed off Zhuk-ME, and in the following years about 100 other Zhuk AESA variants. They were making offers to upgrade Indian Su-30s to AESA, but it seems now Israel's ELTA might beat them to it. 
Still, nothing resembling an AESA has materialised into Russian service as of now. What's going on here? Development problems? Lack of GaN/GaAs production capability? Simply lack of funding?

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
