Fox-3, but activating radar!

Posted by broncepulido on 23 August 2016 - 11:14 AM

Testing the F-35A Learning Curve scenario I see when a F-35A flight (or Portuguese Air Force F-16) is ordered to intercept Russian warplanes, even within or beyond AIM-120 AMRAAM missile range, the F-35A (or F-16) radar is activated, delating our presence to the opossite side.
One of the main ideas of active radar homing missiles is to not reveal the launcher plane position, but with those actiones their position is revealed.

I comment this basically because I'm almost sure in previous builts (for years?) when a fighter launch Fox-2 (passive IR guidance) or Fox-3 (active radar homing missile) the launcher radar is not activated, only in the cases of Fox-1 (semi-active radar homing missile) lauch.

I'm not sure if my description is real, or simply my memory fail. Can it be changed/corrected?

Thanks.
