You deal with them with stand off weapons like harms missles.

The F-35 flys in targets missile radars with harms or gps guided munitions, then the fourth generation stuff and bombers launch their munitions at remaining missile platforms, air bases…..

Ground based air defenses gone, enemy aircraft destroyed runways unusable

Air support not wiped out, air superiority established

please feel free to forward “to a friend”

It sounds nice in theory but never worked in practice. There are plenty of HARMS in Ukraine but they are mostly shot down or hit residential buildings.
The only time US fought against a semi-modest aid defenses you lost 3,200 jets in Vietnam.
Modern SAMs are mobile, decentralized, and net centric.
If you’d lose 3,200 jets this time, it is game over.
