Italy sticking to mechanically scanned radar for latest Eurofighters
Italy says it will stick to the mechanically scanned Captor radar for the first of its tranche-three aircraft.

Gen. Giuseppe Bernardis, deputy chief of staff of the Italian Air Force, complained that talks are too late for an AESA version of the radar.

"Personally, I am very disappointed we did not start work earlier on an AESA radar for the Eurofighter, as far back as the start of the decade," said Bernardis.
