joze44 + 39 HM July 9, 2019 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cautioned Iran on Tuesday that it is within range of Israeli air strikes, citing what he described as Iranian threats to destroy Israel. “Iran recently has been threatening Israel’s destruction,” Netanyahu said at an Israeli air force base, where he viewed a squadron of advanced U.S.-built F-35 warplanes.“It should remember that these planes can reach anywhere in the Middle East, including Iran, and certainly Syria,” he said in a YouTube video clip filmed at the base, with an F-35 in the background. Last week, a senior Iranian parliamentarian was quoted by the semi-official Mehr news agency as saying that if the United States attacked Iran, Israel would be destroyed in half an hour.

The RCS of the F35 is about the same as a seagull. The radar signal gets scattered and absorbed. In a combat situation they're not likely to be loitering around posing for pictures but will be destroying those selfsame radars that will be lit up like Times Square for the Harm missiles on board.
