This is oft repeated but not true. As advanced as missiles are, counter-measures are equally advanced. When two equally sophisticated planes engage each other, there's always the possibility that neither will shoot down the other, and they'll wind up in a dogfighting scenario.
Of course in recent history warfare has been highly asymmetrical, with advanced militaries only engaging weaker forces.
