The modern battlefield is very interesting indeed. SEAD aircraft plus Growlers are the order of the day plus other tactics.
Interestingly I spoke to a friend (aged 95) who flew fighters in the desert , Italy, Europe including Tempests chasing V1's and ground attack. He said he probably had 10000 rounds fired at him in 4 years of continuos flying and only 2 hits which shot him down in his Tomahawk near Tobruk.
Times have changed !
