radar systems and the such are not a problem....
look up F-18 Growler for further explaination..
in the event of a real shooting war, the Growlers will go in first ( just like in Iraq, do you really think the F-117 got in there without a little help? do you really think that the fighters and attack aircraft just went willy nilly across the border? )
I worked the flight deck of an aircraft carrier...
the first 4 aircraft launched were a fighter, an anti sub aircraft, a second fighter and an electronic warfare aircraft...
the electronic warfare aircraft is the most expensive aircraft in the arsenal. it carries no guns, bombs or any way to defend itself...
yet they are almost never shot at or shot down...
what good is a radar guided weapon system that has a jammed radar???
zero..
Kind’a boils down to the range of the acquisition radar vs the jammer range ... if the jammer range is less than the radar’s, then the plane gets acquired.
Also Iraqi air defenses were antiquated, while the Russian and Chinese are near the cutting edges. The story on who goes down first may change should the US face either as an adversary.
