3. 🚀 New Systems: Anti-Radar Missiles and Powerful ECM
· New anti-radar missiles are being introduced.
· The US uses AGM-88, while the USSR uses KH-58U and KH-25MPU.
· These missiles are designed to target and attack radar systems.
· The AI's radar response method is still unknown.
· Long-range anti-air systems have a multi-layered defense system, protected by other anti-air systems.
· The B-52 and Tu-95 are equipped with very powerful ECM (Electronic Countermeasures) systems.
· This ECM makes radar-guided missile attacks impossible through noise and deception jamming, and makes it difficult to find them with radar.
· Therefore, enemy aircraft must get close to attack the bombers.
