Bro, you are right, but there is something else you need to consider, the newer A2A missiles do not need any locks prior to launch, secondly, the missile, can be guided by an AWAC or a secondary aircraft as well.
1. Doesnt require locks because of LOAL and HMDS features. Both are required without which missile would be as good conventional IR guided missile
2. Missile can be guided by an AWAC or any third entity only in theory. Only America is the sole country which has developed the capability to guide only a Radar Guided missile through AWAC not the IR guided WVR.
