My squadron, VAQ-140 Patriots, was the first ECM squadron qualified on the HARM. That was back in ‘85 or early ‘86.

"A follow-up sortie was launched by Israel roughly two hours after Syria fired at its jets, with this one is confirmed as being made up of F-16s. These aircraft prosecuted the attack on the offending SA-5 site east of Damascus."

SA-5s, also known as S-200s. Well done, IAF.

The French do have a rocket-assisted system called the AASM, which comes in various sizes. But given the lower manufacturing volumes, it's very expensive.
