    Are there missiles that aren’t susceptible to jamming? I was expecting ballistic missiles to be used for this purpose. To reduce heat signature tracking I thought that they’d throw off the projectile system after acquiring height and direction. But I don’t know if they can be picked up by some form of active scan.

      I imagine that any missile that has to hit a target precisely over a long distance needs to be able to do course corrections to account for stuff like air drag and turbulence.
