Unfortunately, Leon, that doesn't help against SAMs using VHF 3D radar targeting. And those radars sit well below the frequency coverage of HARM and AlARM (S or L band). Also, fighters can be controlled by VHF radar units and, as we know, use IRST and longer range IR guided versions of AA10 or 12. Better go on a cloudy day. No not so good after all.
