Nah.

Sidewinder warhead only weighs less than 21 lbs.

Length 9 feet 11 inches (3.02 m)
Diameter 5 in (127.0 mm)
Warhead WDU-17/B annular blast-frag
Warhead weight 20.8 lb (9.4 kg)

All you need is to get close, or touch - as the Muslims did here. You can even do it on the ground during rollout or takeoff - still at a high enough speed in either case to kill all onboard.

No, I mean each jet needs countermeasure lasers mounted 1) to create cross-stream burns that confuse any incoming heat-seeking, 2) focus on and fry same as it approaches and 3) fry the control tower for not executing anti-drone countermeasures. :)
