New radar and missile tech make low-altitude flight useless, exposing stealth planes and threatening air superiority.
Advanced radar and missile systems are making low-altitude flight ineffective, rendering terrain masking obsolete and exposing even stealth aircraft to detection, according to RAF Air Vice-Marshal James Beck.
New technologies like AESA and over-the-horizon radars, combined with expanded missile ranges, have greatly increased detection capabilities, enabling adversaries to monitor and engage targets far beyond line-of-sight.
This has expanded anti-access, area-denial (A2AD) networks, potentially covering entire continents.
Beck warned that the inability to achieve air superiority—evident in Ukraine—threatens military effectiveness, making deep-strike missions harder and pushing Western forces to urgently develop new penetrating capabilities.
El nuevo radar y la tecnología de misiles hacen que los vuelos a baja altitud sean inútiles, exponiendo aviones furtivos y amenazando la superioridad aérea.
