i was just about ask about the ALARM actually, how would you compare the HARM to he ALARM, i rather like the ALARM, and would seem it's a fair bit more clever then the HARM approach
ALARM is IIRC a much smaller missile - it's there to suppress enemy radars/SAM systems while the RAF bombers do their work, rather than destroy them before starting work. A carryover from RAF Cold War doctrine when they didn't have a hope of fully suppressing Soviet air defences I guess.
