Even then, there were dedicated ECM squadrons in Soviet Naval Aviation. A full divisional-strength attack on a carrier group would be very demanding.


Dual seekers force the enemy to deploy much more sophisticated countermeasures. Modern guidance logic is quite capable of discerning that the target did not (a) suddenly stop and massively increase its RCS, or (b) decide to make a 1g dive, making simple chaff and flares ineffective. There's a reason towed decoys have become a thing!
