One supersonic aircraft is the F-15 Eagle. -Supersonic means it can fly faster than Mach 1, the speed of sound. Most fighter jets today are supersonic, in fact many fly more than twice the speed of sound.

Can supersonic aircraft dodge from missiles?

The answer is yes. Supersonic aircraft can dodge from missiles. No one is going to say this is going to easy to shoot down supersonic planes. They travel at high speed making it very difficult to destroy these planes in the air. Lots of supersonic aircraft have radar that allows them to know that there is a missile become from behind them, they also heat up their anti-missile flares to get ready to dodge. This also allows them to intercept missiles to help them dodge. Some of these planes might carry weapons and can destroy anti-aircraft missile launchers.
