Don’t need TTR with certain missiles, detect with search and launch and the missile does the work. . .flies out most of the way then “opens” it eyes (TTR) just prior to impact.

Cool stuff.

Yup, the JSF has made a lot of promises but I’ll withhold judgment on that platform.

Still need EW to know if a threat exists. Electro-optics and terminal phase illuminators are game changers during the end game but without EW, hard to find the threat.
