It's not so simple. Wide-area active-passive-rotation jammer drone swarms will disable any advantages of smart missiles, drones and stealth. You'll resort to dogfighting again. Furthermore, people always forget that in order for smart missiles to work you generally have to continuously shine a radio beam at your target for quite a while which kills any stealth advantage you have provided the adversary has the tech to detect it.
And all of that is only in case you haven't already been hacked or spied on by other means.
There were a few public talks on youtube from relevant engineers about other possible countermeasures but I can't find them now. But the summary is that while war planes take 20 years to build, most countermeasures can be coded and iterated in a week on some existing platform as new info becomes available. Usually in the form of coordinating a swarm in certain ways and synthesising radio signals for different purposes.
