HOW TO OUTSPACE A MISSLE IN AN F-22

Conventional fighter detected (F-15). The surface-to-air (SAM) system projects the target track and launches to an interception point.
Because the interception point is close, the missle retains enough energy to counter its aircraft target's escape maneuvers.
The stealthy F-22 is not detected until it is much closer. Because the range is greater--and the F-22 flies much faster than other fighters--the missle intercepts later. By that time, the missle must perform a low-energy long tail chase against the aircraft target at the limits of its tracking range.
With a moderate supersonic jink, the F-22 loses the missle.
