Probably much better to fly out AIM-260-armed fighters a significant distance from the Carrier with MQ-25 tanker support to conduct outer air battle against mass air-breathing threats like the Backfire, Mig-31K or H-6, air-launched SM-6 isn't isn't really something that can be carried in the numbers required to seriously whittle down those threats,.very much only intended to deal with assets available in limited number operating in depth, like Tankers and AWACS.
