If ground based radars can be taken out, so can AEW aircraft. Irans IADS is ground based and supported by assets like OTH radars. If it collapses then a airborne fighter radar won't make the difference.
I don't plan to use my F-313 against an enemy airbase if the threat level is not sufficiently low. Instead sending Su-34 on a risky strike mission in enemy airspace, I use BMs and CMs to knock it out first.
Hence a costly capability of the Su-34; large supersonic low level interdictor, is not planned to be used --> don't waste money on it --> don't use expensive Su-34.
Su-30 for multirole and foremost air defense is also obsolete conventional doctrine not suitable for Iran. I wait in defensive posture with my F-313 assassins, low in the mountain valleys with their long range BVRAAMs, for the conventional enemy force to come. I don't scramble four Su-30 to intercept 6 high flying F-22, formation against formation.
I use a turboprop drone to haul my bombs and only in clear, uncontested (high altitude) airspace.
Yes I rather use 20 F-313 with lower payload but just 1/20 maintenance effort compared to a F-14, or 1/15 compared to a F-15, or 1/10 compared to a Su-30. Fuel is less important than those costs but be sure that there is a great fuel consumption difference for a fighter with a designed nominal operation point/regime at subsonic speeds. Burning less gas also helps with smaller logistic footprint, unconventional basing methods and most importantly gives me the increased endurance to position for assassination.
I don't want any costly support aircraft for my operation. No AEW, no EW, no tanker. Let the Saudis fly their "anti-terror" campaign with such support aircraft and bleed their money. Such concepts are no option for Iran.
On the integrated scale Iran would be doing it, it is something new. Which IADS could ever use assets such as OTHR? Yes Russians are the kings in this field but this is something new for Iran.
No. It is absurd if it would be fragile enough to be jammed or hacked on wide scale. Same as ground based radars, if done in the right way, they won't fail. Americans are good but they can't to black magic.
Finally: My F-313 assassins, each kill one enemy fighter with their payload. They launch 2 ARH BVR with the right time between the shots, so that high maneuvering might lead to a miss of the first one but make the second one quite certain against a target which hast lost its high energy state. If it's not successful the F-313 escapes back to it's base, like a assassin would do... reload, and try again.
We can make best use of terrain masking, like almost no other country.
Let the IRIAF work with it's F-14 for now and make use of their long range BVRAAMs in Parthian shot tactics. Give them a small fleet F-22, or more realistic Su-57, those are useful today. But the main force should be a sizable fleet of my outlined F-313, to support the IADS where it is under heavy enemy pressure, undetected, from optimized attack vectors.
Low payload is relative: Low for a bomb truck mission? Yes maybe.
Low for a interception? No, those two long range BVRAAMs will be good enough.
