Question

Low & Slow,
Presuming you really are serious - Here is a starter for twelve.
a. Although there are missiles with fairly huge off-boresight capabilities the launch platform will frequently still need to bring the nose to bear to some degree. First one to a launch solution = first one with a kill chance. Launch and leave = leave right now & with feeling!
b. AAMD is possible with the use of defensive aids + manoeuvre. Long range Active Mx defense by manoeuvre alone is based on outranging the missile based on the likely launch range - trickier. A good TRD will ruin most peoples day to a significant degree.
c. No - you wanna chuck it about safely throughout the desirably enormouse flight envelope = unstable + a friendly computer or twelve.
d. I wanna fly expensive kit cos you always get wot you pay for. Yeah right!!!!
