<summary>96L6 radar is operating in the wrong radar band</summary>
<detail>

The 96L6 Cheese Board radar operates in C-band (G only?) but is currently modelled as an S-band (E) radar.

This is flanked by a 96L6E (NATO reporting name Cheese Board) C-band (5.25GHz to 5.925GHz) early warning and target acquisition radar with a range of up to 162nm (300km).

This affects both the individual facility and the sensors of the S-400 batteries.
Of the S-400 system, the radar that operates in S-band is the Big Bird D radar (F band).

(DB3K v491) Sorry if sub had any modification IRL, but Kamehameha (Submarine #96) is missing "Benjamin Franklin" magazines for torpedo reload.

Could I request the XQ-222 Valkyrie be capable of launch from carriers please it will launch from LHA but not CVN, thanks.

UAE has bought 80 Rafale instead.
Request/Suggest either

2. Change entry for F35 to hypothetical.
3. Update title to show order cancelled.

<detail>In the thedrive article background, pictures and performance data are available.
In the first evidence link the picture shows the jet-powered on at the top of the picture and the piston-powered one on the botttom.
Some can drop muntions as shown in the YouTube video. The jet-powered Shahed-191 has an internal bay and lands on retractable skids. The propeller version carries Sadid guided bombs externally and lands on fixed bars, which impact radar detectability. </detail>
