I’m talking about HARM and friends because in terms of quickly executing a kill chain against a transmitting radar, antirad munitions are the gold standard. Sure, it can be done other ways. But it generally involves a lot more systems with relatively complex integration.

Yeah I mean, this speaks even further to the doctrinal difference I'm trying to highlight.

How are the Ukrainians pushing back on radar systems? Are they relying on anti-rad munitions? Well. No. We're seeing them using long range drones, which, arguably, is far less complex, much more versatile, easier to produce, and cheaper to produce. The difference highlights the doctrine difference.

This is all really a debate about how one thinks about fighting a war and what one values along the way.
