But if it is the same mission I think it is, it is good idea to have radar off. Tu-22 detect you right by your radar. If you stay 'quit', Tu-22 will never fire.
That is how I had to complete the mission. And no, I didn't have a helo up. I just kept my radar off and monitored the ESM to make sure nothing was taking a peak at me. It was challenging to get those inbound missiles however and that is the part I want to redo!

Shouldn't a surface search radar pick these things up at least at 40nm?
