Without counter-measures is it possible for a fighter pilot, to save his aircraft from an inbound radar or IR guided missile.
Even with countermeasures how much of a possibility is it that the Aircraft would survive?
From what I know, it is said that flying perpendicular to the incoming missile, and just when the missile reaches close enough to the aircraft turning inside the arc of the incoming missile helps.
But really, how do you spot a missile travelling at speeds of 4+ machs. And some aircraft don't even have a missile launch detection capability.
If anyone has had the pratical experience, kindly explain.
