With respect to the ex-Weasel, ALARM was a very different beast to the weapons he would have used. As mentioned by others above, ALARM had loitering and other modes that did not need the SAM to be provoked into action immediately. Hence most of the tactics and effective ranges bore little resemblance to those used with HARM and its predecessors.
