You are operating on this idea that stealth aircraft always win in A2A combat. its an advantage, but it doesnt mean the otherside cant fight back. Like what is stopping the Typhoon from just dropping a few Britecloud when it detects the Missile launch at long range?
This attitude that stealth always wins because its stealth is just stupid
Americans love to make it out like the difference between the Euro-deltas and the F-35/F-22 is the difference between a WW1 biplane and a korean war era jets.
The reality is that they are waaaaaay closer than they think and this attitude that the F-22/F35 will be totally and completely untouchable is nonsense and if they were, then there would be a significant BR difference between them and everything else
huh okay? I mean, there’s a full detailed report of the bombing campaign of Iran written by a retired general and using information from security officials. I quote one part(and there’s much more):
“The integration of the F-35 was a game changer for Israel achieving air superiority over Iran. No Israeli aircraft entered Iranian airspace at any point unless it was led by F-35s, which could include the F-35 escorting formations of F-15s and F-16s from dozens of miles away; as one Israeli pilot told JINSA, they would not have wanted to fly in Iran without the F-35s there.”
