its worse than that. Apparently this anti-air system uses both a heat and sight picture to lock on and track. There's never any real warning to the F35 because it's not being painted with radar or lasers or nothing. If they launch flares or chaff, no problem, whichever target acquisition system gets confused it falls back to the other.

Developed and deployed effectively within a year, by the way.

Strapping a 2018 cell phone to your missile and adjusting the face tracking squares to look for an f35 then wiring the auto focus to the stabilizers
