The ALCM relied entirely on its low-altitude flight for penetration, based on the Soviet Union's primarily ground-based defense system centered on surface to air missiles. In the early 1980s it became clear that they were starting to deploy a number of airborne early warning systems that would be able to "look down" and see the ALCM, allowing it to be attacked with ease. This included the new radar data networking capabilities of the MiG-31, which allowed several fighters to spread out and cover a wide area and at ...
