And I'm guessing the plane didn't notify the pilot they had a lock on either

yeah there is nothing coming out of the infrared tracker to warn the plane, it's basically just a camera

which also means there's no signature for the empire to lock onto and take out with SEAD weapons

The most interesting part is that there's no attempt at evasion and no attempt at flares either. They not only didn't know they were being targeted, they also did not know that a missile was fired at them. They failed to identify the incoming threat at all.

maybe they're accepting those new planes with gym weights instead of radars because it doesn't make much difference either way
