Hello

The question is in the title already. I was thinking this for quite some time, but came with no obvious answers. Basically, 2 nightfighter versions would have to be designed to cover both bomber interception and nightfighter interception, as they used different systems (British bombers used H2S system, while nightfighters used AI Mk. VIII radar, correct me if I am wrong). And both Horten versions would most probably have radar jammer Flensburg detectors, but I am nowhere near sure. Could someone clear this one up for me?

Any help is appreciated

Have a nice day,

FuG 240 N Berlin with parabolic antenna and plywood radome would have been the most modern German AI radar by the time the Ho 229 could have arrived at a test squadron. Its installation is also visible in a widely circulated side line drawing of the Ho 229 derivative Go P.60
 
I doubt that FuG 240 Berlin could be built in such high numbers to be disposable on regular fighters, if they get shot down. What could be the alternative? Neptun maybe?
