Any prognosis on AD performance against potential F-15,F-16 and F-35?
They will have to cross hundreds of kilometer inside Iran to go for nuclear installations
The 3rd Khordad will likely be overwhelmed but i see realistically the downing of some jets

iran have to mobilize its forces into Syria, by working with Asad and Iraq, otherwise, Iranian AD and Airforce wont be able to counter Israeli AF. they need to create Basij Draft volunteer force in millions.. The great game has begun

The Kayhan radar was missing > the range of this OTH radar, which is fixed in coastal regions of the Persian Gulf, is unknown.

Following are the AD systems Iran has:
Similar to Arrow/THAAD -
- Arman ABM (not fully operational)

Similar to David Sling/Patriot -
- Bavar 373
- 3vome Khordad,
- Mehran,
- 15 Khordad,
- Tatical Sayyad
- Talash
Similar to TOR-M1/M2/M3 -
- Zoubin
IRGC released nothing, this osint is a trash bin

If the F-35s are not as good as advertised and can't really penetrate air-defenses as easy as they say, We can shoot a couple of them down then the Iranian air defence systems are going to turn into money printing machines over night. But if the F-35s are really as good as they are advertised then we are f'd in the a.
