I will take a wild shot and assume that "4m" is usage of some wild texting logic to imply "from". In any case it is not "thrown", its either "fired" or "launched".

It is quite possible. A missiles probability of kill (PoK) depends on many factors like the ranges involved, guidance mechanism, target maneuvering and contermeasures. The guidance algorithm can be jammed, confused or just cooked using enough ECM energy. So it is quite possible.

For the answerer who said about the Phoenix, FYI, the Phoenix has never scored a combat kill for the USN despite several known firings. Even the vaunted AMRAAM has missed!

Perhaps you mean, " a missile is launched from an aircraft at another aircraft with a lock on".

Yes, it is possible to escape from the missile.

Depending on the type of missile fired, you could activate the various counter-measures you may have on board (these could be electronic or chaff or flares etc etc).

Closer to ground, you could dive down to the deck where the missile's guidance would be upset by ground clutter. At altitude, climbing directly into the sun and closing power would make the heat seeking missile probably miss you and home on to the sun.

When fighters are flying in 'missile formation', they have enough relevant manoeuvres to out fox the missiles.

The missile has digital training structures that attempt to hint the objective and factor the missile in the direction of it. quite a few countermeasures exists for missile avoidance, like jamming, decoys, deception or maybe maneuverings that would reason the missile to lose its aim lock. it easily relies upon on a super style of try against dynamics and the respond on your question is, particular, its relatively possible and often thats what occurs. maximum missiles hit no longer something substantial than air. We wouldnt be making combatants if missiles have been so darned efficient, might we?

i assume you mean 4 miles, not 4 meters, which would be insane. yes, of course it could miss. the missile is just a machine, and like all machines built by humans it has the potential to fail. even if everything inside the missile is working properly, no machine can guarantee a 100% success rate. a good pilot could pull it off with a little luck.

If you fire a missile at an aircraft only 4 meters away from you, you'll probably go down with him.

Depends, if your so skilled. Like having different kinds of "special moves" that you can combine to form an acrobatic stunt that would confuse the missile.

Probably wouldn't have time to arm before impact, like hitting it with a multi- million $ arrow. That's why fighters have guns.

If like,another commenter replied, if it's 4 mi. then there is a difference. If it's a Phoenix, bend over & kiss your a** goodbye!

4m is a little too close and possibly too close to even get a good lock... let alone safe flight... its rare to see them that close when they are friendlys, flying in formation, let alone an enemy that you want to kill... all they have to do is hit the brakes and you hit them or a quick loop and you are all of a sudden the sitting duck...
