Can the modern fighters with ECM(flares ,dispensers & automatic decoy dispensers) prevent themselves fro tha sam like patriot,spyder sam etc?
I would have thought there was a SAM our there that not even modern fighters can evade. With very new piece of technology used by the military there is new technology to counter it's advantages leaving the military at square 1.
...In my opinion manned aircraft will become obsolete within the next 15 years because already today, there're radar systems like the 96L6E that are abeld to detect targets with a RCS of less then 0.50 m2 even at long ranges.
I don't think manned aircraft will become obsolete, they will remain an element on the battle space with UAVs the most troublesome anti-aircraft defenses.SAM's are becoming more and more deadly thus leading to many countries developing planes that feature low-observable airframes in order provide a penetration capabillity even against systems like the S-300 or HQ-9.
