Why don’t fighter planes have 360 degree radar?
In: 7
Just a fun note: the Su-34, a fast and maneuverable strike aircraft based on the Su-27 fighter, *does* have a rear radar. It’s the Russian equivalent to the F-15E Strike Eagle, more or less. The system is kept pretty secret so we don’t know how capable the rear radar is, but the main radars of the Flanker family have a 120° field of view. So it’s likely they cover a lot of available directions, although still not 360°.
