Does it make sense to add flare/chaff dispenser on either of this
Sometimes. Countermeasures can increase the odds of not getting shot down, but at the same time they add cost, mass and bulk. So figuring out which countermeasures exactly are a good idea on which missile exactly may take some thought, and also likely depend a good deal on the exact AA systems you expect them to contend with.
>>65275987Why not just go around the mountain?
Many cruise missiles have chaff/flare dispensers and many BMs (notably Iskander from the ongoing conflict) deploy jammers/pen aids
>>65275987Integrating these into cruise missiles is more logical because they can be neutralized by almost any defensive layer, from MANPADS to fighter-launched AAMs.Ballistic missiles, however, require expensive, short-range ABM systems to intercept. Because ABM batteries have low magazine capacities and strict proximity requirements, they are easily depleted. Once those interceptors are gone, a defender has no way of shooting them down, which is something that cannot be said about cruise missiles.
>>65276004Because it will hit a woman who will be coming round the mountain when she comes.
>>65275987Cruise missile yes, because it is slow.Ballistic missile spends most of its flight at Mach 10 or above, any opening or ejection of countermeasures is going to fuck its accuracy or even lead to loss.
