Your best bet to defeat a missile is to defeat the person who is going to
shoot it at you before he can pull the trigger. Unless you have A LOT of
airspeed on the aircraft you don't even stand a chance of being able to turn
hard enough to defeat the missile. Believe you, me, treat missile with a
great deal of respect! Those of us that fly in areas where they are shot at
us, do.
