When a pilot sees a missile coming, they need to carry out high-G manoeuvres (turning exhausting, diving) to trick the missile’s steerage. That is known as “kinematic defeat.” Nonetheless, each exhausting flip bleeds pace and altitude (power). The Eurofighter is agile, however after dodging the primary three missiles, it’s now flying slower and decrease. It has “bled” all its power. When the fourth, fifth, and sixth missiles arrive seconds later, the jet is a sitting duck with no power left to manoeuvre.
