Currently the russian system is more sensative and yes given the right displays they could detect at greater ranges.
The americans have the edge on quality your display screens are so much easioer to uses and work with than that of the russian screens.
Have you ever been on board a proper akula and seen the screens there? they dont have a history like the US do they dont have water fall display and they are not very good display systems.
Its only now really the new sonars that are being used in the new boats that they can have all that information, but again its limited to the quality of the screen its not that good.
In terms of quality the americans do win that.
