Am going to elaborate slightly from
@jhungary post 15638.
The moment your RWR rang in your ears that there is a radar lock on you, your first response, from training not instincts, is going to be getting out of that lock. The training is that any lock
MUST, not should, be considered a real threat and that the threat is
IMMEDIATE, meaning either missile launch is imminent or the missile is already underway to you. Time to assess the validity of that threat comes later
AFTER you have successfully break lock, assuming you can do that in the first place.
If there is a radar lock, the response is chaff and maneuvers. The combination is designed to force the radar to continually recompute what it 'sees'. If you stay on steady course, you are not forcing the radar to do that, hence, making it easier to kill you. Can you afford the time to see if the threat is genuine or spoof? No air force will ever train its pilots to think that way. Of course, Russia can make itself an exception to that rule.
The relevance is this...
A single B-2 crippled an airfield with six bombs. The Raider have upped that ante with merely its debut, and your China knows it.
