The threat of long range ARMs isnt as significant as many armchair comrade generals would like to believe. There are some missiles that are truly long range, but they tend to be carried by very few aircraft that very few countries own. The MiG-31 may be a rocket with decent weapons, but that doesnt matter much unless we're fighting over Russian soil. So that's not a threat. See what I mean?
Edit: Wait a second, towed decoy?
