Closest Iran border is 900km from Israel. Assuming unlimited radar power, Israeli AWACS must be +200,000 feet (+60km) up in the air to detect (not track) surface objects, i.e. impossible. If the AWACS flies at it's currently known max alt of 33,000 feet, it can detect a target 900km away if the target is 76,000 feet high; also impossible since Iran doesn't have such high alt aircraft.

How could a defensive system that only intercepts drones be considered lethal? I guess in theory you could use the laser on humans, but that would be equivalent to claiming a truck is lethal since it can be used to run over people.

Not arguing about whether a radar set can possibly have the raw signal strength to provide tracking data across 900km.
Your argument is instead one of data sets. ie. What can be detected at 900km.
I agree that the simple concept of radar horizon puts Air-to-Ground out of the picture and limits air-to-air range scenarios against aircrafts. But ballistic missiles ...

The fact that insurance premiums are increasing despite declining quality of care is actually a testament to the unimaginable affluence of the average American consumer, whom are swimming in so much affluence despite living paycheck to paycheck (which is actually a sign of extreme financial stability and confidence) that they are demanding to be able to pay more for health insurance not because they actually need better healthcare, but as an sink for dumping excess affluence which will supercharge the US economy into a period of unparalleled growth and affluence.

However, the entertainment value of a LLM that "speaks," in the manner of Trump cannot be underestimated.
This dude isn't even Japanese. He's literally some guy from Sichuan who didn't even gain Japanese citizenship until 2007.
