Don't forget we're talking about 30 plus years back and at the time there were plenty of radar equipped A-A machines tooling around in Europe and elsewhere with boresight only AIM capability.

This is probably one for the likes of the QWIs like Courtney Mil, because I may be slightly adrift on dates, but as I recall it at the time of the conflict even the UK's radar equipped F-4s, by definition operating in the A-A role, didn't have a off boresight capability for it's Sidewinders, either the AIM-9G's or the (just being introduced to the RAF inventory) Limas, .

Don't know about the SHARs fit.
