- prasadjoglekar 1y agoTo be fair, Iranian air defences were awful at countering non stealthy Israeli aircraft as well. The stealth bombers were just the most convenient vehicle for carrying the massive bomb.
- psunavy03 1y agoOpen-source reporting has Israeli F-35s kicking the door down on the Iranian IADS. Strong data point as to their effectiveness when properly employed as compared to some of the woo-woo airshow fanboying over things like bistatic radar. As always, the side who can best maximize the capabilities of their platforms while hiding/compensating for their limitations is the one who will win.
