JDAMs have hit targets from further than 30km. And that's just a guided bomb, not even powered.

According to wiki (
JDAM) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. the max range of JDAM is 24 km. So a SAM having a range of 30 km or more would see the jet before the pilot had time to attack the SAM battery, right?

Fire-and-forget is not at all immune to electronic attack, you just have to jam it before it launches. Or jam the seeker. More difficult, but not at all impossible.

Hmm....But what if multiple SAM batteries were deployed against you? Say that you haven't been able to destroy the SAM using JDAMs, and 3 missiles have been fired at you. If you jam the seeker of one, would you get rid of all three missiles? Or do they employ different seeker frequencies on each missile? Or do you have to jam each missile separately? Also, would it be a realistic scenario for a pilot to jam all 3 incoming missiles, and then target the ground based battery successfully?
