How about just modifying a Bison or Blinder preferably type bomber aircraft to carry large IR all aspect AAMs. Of course they are not there to play a red Baron but they can perform head on attacks on a formation of strike aircraft. If nothing else just disrupt their cohesion and achieve mission kills by forcing them to dump ordinance and fuel to take evasive actions.

I think SARH missiles will be too hard  to manage with  a clunky bomber type and ARH missiles pre AMRAAM era is not possible esp in USSR

Advantage probably over conventional PVO interceptors is that bombers can carry several times as many AAMs
