Will take time to mature supply base, indigenize, do actual flight trials. In past, supplied hardware to DRDO for a simpler naval surveillance radar. DRDO helped with design, software.

I think the presenter was unaware of the specs maybe. Zoom in for the configuration in the background. This is a beast of a radar. 350km target tracking for 5sqm RCS, 250km for 2sqm and 200km for 1sqm.
