Hi,

I've been thinking about the counter measures (flares & Chaff) on todays fighter aircraft. How well do they function in real combat? What if they developed a counter measure that is like a small missle and can be fired from the plane in any angle (like a gun turret). These small missles could be made to track & kill incomming missles like SAM's & Air-Air missles, if it could some how even confuse the radar guided weapons it would be even more of an advantage instead of the pilot going through evasive manuver hell. It would become the hunter who is then being hunted. Do you think they are thinking along these lines at the moment.
