Back when we had Lynx/TOW, one of my Flight Commanders did advocate lobbing a TOW in the general direction of the incoming FJ, his theory being that anyone seeing a humungous cloud of smoke emanating from his intended target might have been dissuaded from pursuing the engagement. The fact that he was on attachment from an allied army with far more missiles than us may have some bearing on his philosophy.

We'd have much rather bugged out and kept evading until FJ mate either got bored or ran out of fuel. Hiding in fire-breaks in forestry doesn't always work against A10s - they just about fit between the trees.
