Around 1 :09:51, RAAF commander mentioned how the Super Hornet had a positive kill ratio in excess of 20 to 1 against the Alaska aggressors F-16 in an exercise in Australia more than a year ago.
Australia's F-18F Block 2 has 20:1 kill ratio against F-16s. Super Hornet has lower RCS when compared to any F-16s
F-35A has similar kill ratio like Super Hornet. https://theaviationist.com/2017/02/28/red-flag-confirmed-f-35-dominance-with-a-201-kill-ratio-u-s-air-force-says/

The video shows F-35's IRST capabilities with tracking/detection >1300Km range.
F-35's EO-DAS has 360 degrees IRST distributive sensors with detection range around >1300Km.
F-35's 360 degree IRST distributive sensors can feed data to anti-ballistics missile/Aegis combat systems.
