Dear friends,
I have been hearing about the effectiveness of ARM that can destroy the air-defence radars. Now the average range of ARM is 30 miles plus. But the average range for air-defence radar is 200 miles. It means that the radar will detect the plane (supposed it's not stealthy) while it is still beyond the ARM max range of shot. And so, the radar can guide SAM or fighter to the position of the oncoming plane.
And I still wonder why in reality, the ARM beat the air-defence radar "so easily!"
Please, explain and advise
Thanks friends
