2. Nobody has been stopped from shooting down an HVAA by an F3
Yes they have - I did this in Autumn 1999. Late Arm on, ID'd hostile and met ROE - he knobbed off as he approached within 5-10nm of the top of Launch Success Zone (LSZ) back outside of the No Fly Zone (NFZ). Could've been a very nice crate of champagne from BAeS at that time
HVAA(D) job done - reckoned that he was after RJ or AWACS at the time.
And there are others like me...so wind your piggin' pencil neck in!
