Well they call them MISSiles for a reason. You need to fire a lot of SAMs in a coordinated manner to guarantee a hit. The idea being that the fist SAM drives you into the kill zone of the second or third SAM. Shooting them off one at a time you are just counting on luck or poor piloting skill on the part of your adversary, since almost any SAM can be defeated with chaff, flairs and evasive maneuvering.. And when the adversary is the IAF the piloting skill isn't in question.

Little more than a fireworks show for the savages.

High tech version of shaking your fist at a plane.

FWIW, they use their old, crappy, SAMS for savage-appeasement purposes. They have real ones they are saving back.
