That's an option. If we're in an area where air-to-air combat is expected, there's probably an AWACS in the area getting a good look at everything anyway, so the fighters will know what they're up against even if they're not radiating.
What stops the Flankers from doing this is that there aren't many A-50 Mainstays, and frankly its not a very good platform. Ground-based radars are far more limited by terrain and line-of-sight issues than an airborne platform.
