The Real Reason Russia and Iran Worry About Israel's F-35s

In October 2024, something unprecedented happened: Russian and Iranian radars tracked Israeli Adirs for the first time. But what followed proved why the F-35I remains Moscow and Tehran’s worst nightmare. During Operation Rising Lion, Israel demonstrated the most advanced stealth-warfare tactics ever recorded—destroying an entire network of Iranian air defenses without losing a single aircraft.

This video breaks down how Israeli jets used frequency-hopping EW systems, sensor fusion, and kill-chain disruption tactics to defeat the S-300 and Bavar-373—systems Russia claims can stop any stealth fighter. We expose how the F-35I operated as an airborne intelligence center, mapping radars, feeding targeting data to follow-on aircraft, and enabling precision strikes from over 100 miles away.

You’ll also see how the June 2025 Iranian air defense collapse sent shockwaves through Russia’s global weapons market, and why the October radar-tracking incident ultimately changed nothing—because detection isn’t the same as interception.

With each mission, Israel provides data that NATO and the U.S. are already integrating into future conflict planning. This isn’t just an Israeli victory. It’s a preview of modern air warfare—and a warning to any nation relying on outdated defensive doctrine.
