They'd like to fly low though, but because it
is there they have to fly where everyone can see them, and targeting is much more difficult due to range. The vast majority of U.S. aircraft casualties have been from AAA fire for many years now. Now if you are guaranteed air supremacy you can cut you AA forces, as your own Air Force can protect the ground troops.
