Why can't countries into air defense and SEAD??. The concept is literally so easy. Good radars and good missiles. The tech is cheap nowadays.

Until AA lasers can easily detonate an airliner at 35k ft and 100mi away, ground based systems will simply be at a major disadvantage due to being static and fighting against gravity.
Static defenses lose.

It’s not necessarily the tech. Many air defense artillery units are gender integrated. As such the FA remains the king of battle and the ADA is essentially their camp followers and washer women.

they have potential nowadays with proper tech
see: Nagorno-Karabakh conflict where loitering IAI HAROP anti-radiation missiles did SEAD quite successfully. this is Israeli tech developed by copying US but this type of missile is not particularly hard to use and doesn't require as much coordinated training and tech as other methods, working as a more out of the box solution. US prefer to spam MALD decoys with the same fuction and snipe AA from actual aircraft but this requires more planes on station and pilots to do the actual shooting. Europe trains to do this too, kind of half assedly, by relying on limited purchases of US missiles for that.
