Even in the traditional scenario it’s still unclear how would F35 compete in range with enormous antennas on both specific aircrafts like Е-3 or land-based defense systems.

the F35 can track targets at more than double the distance of the E3.

It is the the most advanced flying weapons platform ever created, and the most misunderstood.
