And that line is followed by "Yet, we have defined such hard (to engage) threats as it's main targets".This article states.
"The Bavar373 is not designed to detect a reconnaissance drone with an RCS of 0.1 m^2 at 300 km."
This means that if the F-35 has an RCS of 0.005 m^2, it would not be detectable at an approach to 150 km.
The F-22 is rumored to have an RCS of 0.0001 m^2, making it undetectable at a range of 53 km.
It seems that a different approach is needed to engage the stealth fighters that the US has in large numbers...
Somewhere else says stealthiness of F35 is impossible in some bands.
