Many Anti-Aircraft missiles find their targets based on heat. If an AC130 deploys flares, which are hot, the missiles follow them instead.

Is destroying military jets easy?

The answer is no because most fighter jets can easily deploy anti-missile flares. Not that much plane was shot down. Just a few of them was shot down but most of them deploy flares. Anti-missile flares came out at the bottom in the back of the plane. Planes has missiles that can travel much more faster. Most fighter jets type get shot down doesn't mean that it is easy to destroy them. It is not easy at all. Jets are not really easy to blow them out of the sky. Check out their afterburners and flares. It depends on the aircraft and situation. Fighters are now more stealthy, manuevrable and speedy than ever. Take the F-15. Though now rather outdated it has the best air to air kill ratio ever: 104:0. so very difficult to shoot down. Once a missile is detected by a pilot he will send out chaff to fool radar and flares to decoy Infra-red missiles. Then he will turn into the missile to make it expend lots of energy to try to follow him. He will then dive before turning into the missile again.
