It cruises at very high altitude, it's very large, and it radiates from a long way off. Impossible not to see coming, and plenty of time to shoot it down.
Interesting about the KH-15S. I don't see it being much more effective, but carrying 10 instead of 3 can make a difference. I may have to designate the existing Backfire Tu-22M2 and add a -22M3 with the Kh-15...
