4th generation jets are not designed to survive denied airspace. They're still useful; both sides in Ukraine are using 4th gen jets for air patrol, SEAD, escorts, intercepts and standoff munition launches.

Putting flares, chaff and ECM onto a propeller plane doesn't leave much takeoff weight for AASMs and KEPD munitions.
