flag New radar and missile tech make low-altitude flight useless, exposing stealth planes and threatening air superiority.

flag 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. flag 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. flag This has expanded anti-access, area-denial (A2AD) networks, potentially covering entire continents. flag 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.
