Note: | Originally, there were two versions of this radar. The first was the Axis-1, which was designed for Mig-21 aircraft. The second version, called the Axis-2, was designed for machines Mig-29 series. However, only one is currently offered implementation of this radar. The manufacturer calls it Osa (no further resolution). The last version of this antenna radar allows its installation in both of these aircraft, so it is no longer necessary to produce two versions. |
