Note INS Anvesh on the background, Indigenously developed Long-Range Multi Function Radar can be seen

In all likelihood P-17A will be the last IN combatant class to use MFSTAR. Going forward, we are likely to switch to the DRDO-developed Long Range Multi-Function Radar (LRMFR) that's currently being tested on INS Anvesh tech demo ship

The MF-STAR radar has Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based Transmit/Receive elements. That means around 5x times greater transmitting power than usual Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)-based TR AESAs which are a generation behind in terms of technology.

Looks like INS Vikrant is all set to gerate yet another meltdown very shortly before the elections
