Ah, kind of a late point here, but...

I've noticed that the aircraft ASuW doctrine was based heavily on jammers and HARMs to degrade the Soviet radar systems, since we don't really have standoff supersonic missiles. However, with that there's always the issue of passive radar seeking missiles, home-on-jam. I know that SM-1/SM-2s and Phoenixes have them, so it's reasonable to assume that Russian SAM systems would, too; it would be relatively easy to plot the locations of the jammers themselves, and the SA-N-6s/S-300s have plenty of range. Also, there's no question of EA-6Bs maneuvering to avoid them, and the only way to make a missile go dumb would be to turn off your jamming pod--which would mean that the Sovs have scored a soft kill on you, and very likely hard kills on your inbound strikers. So what would've been the US reaction to this, at least out in the open, since EW doctrine is pretty sensitive material.
