By 'surprising' I mean that the radar performed much better than everything these F-15Cs have met so far- namely iraki and serbian 9-12Bs in real combat and the same export Luftwaffe a/c. It has shown ability to track a maneuvering F-15 from higher distance than the US pilots have expected, and it is much more resistant to jamming than the 9-12B's radar.
I have no idea about the F-16's radar you compared to the N019.
But the biggest surprise for the F-15s at these exercises (Sentry Lion 2006 and Immediate Response 2006) came from the.... Su-25 The scenario involved 4 Su-25s who have simulated attack over 'refugee camp' and a couple of F-15s have scrambled to intercept them. The surprise element here has been a SPS-141 active jammer that one of the Frogfoots has carried. I have never suspected that our AF had such device in service. The Eagles easily have found the Su-25s but they have been unable to lock them because of the jammer. The SPS-151 is completely autonomous, from the a/c it just receives power supply. It jams only a locking radar, and when the radar switches to HOJ the jammer turns itself off. Being unable to make a simulate AMRAAM launch the F-15 have tried to go WVR but the Su-25s have escaped using terrain masking.
These exercises are extremely useful for all participating sides. Except F-15s the A-10s are also often guests at the 3rd Air Base. They practice coop CAS with the Su-25s quiet successfuly. Royal AF Jaguars and swedish Grippens also have come few times.
