Will the F-35 change Middle East warfare?

I hope Australia can get its F-35 as soon as possible, so we can duel that plane with our Su 35 ( 60 % chance we will choose this fighter) at Pitch Black exercise to really understand that fighter capability.

Even considering a "hopefully " worst case and the RCS of the F-35 if 5 times the RCS of the F-22 your still up against a scenario like this

"* Theoretically, F-22A shall be able to detect / track Su-35 at the range of 285 to 440 km / 200 to 308 km away in head to head engagement.
* Theoretically, Su-35 shall be able to detect / track F-22A at the range of 29 to 48 km / 17 to 34 km away in head to head engagement."
