Modern missiles aren't immune to rules of engagement which prohibit beyond-visual-range engagement.
The actual solution to this problem is to establish air superiority by sending in autonomous drones to down all aircraft and destroy all anti-aircraft munitions in a given region, and then send in human-flown craft for other work.
Yes, this entails robots being given the ability to kill humans.

Unfortunately, the government likes to foster ignorance to prevent embarrassment and outrage, and it seems likely that the powers that be are emboldened to creep one step closer each year to fully autonomous weapon systems. Despite all the dangers and warnings, we're still slipping right into this trap due to inertia.
