I’m not assuming it’s easy, and I also assumed increased weight and drag, but missiles are frail, and another vulnerability of theirs is that they have a package designed to go boom.

many of them are going to terminal in on heat. Your anti missile device could target a narrow probability cone for any given one unit and fire flechette clusters or something along that line.

You know, when you think about it, a low tech force fielding a lot of prop aircraft could probably kick ass on a lot of current high tech forces, through numbers and creative means of getting the enemy to waste their very finite SAM capacity.

It’d be interesting to game it out...

More pixie dust.
