"modern look down-shoot down multimode pulse Doppler radar will detect and then support a missile to target even at 30ft"

​​​​​​Before this thread comes to a dead stick ending... would an electric powered aircraft be harder to track? presumably with a lower heat signature? Do air to air missiles have radar as well as thermal sensors?

Would agree that drones are the go, perhaps we may see the resourceful Ukrainians have a go...

Whilst we are on air to air combat 101, is it feasible to adapt a consumer drone, load with a lightweight explosive payload (say 0.3 kilo ) to fly itself into the source of enemy radar and at least disrupt it?
