Was it an idea floated on su33 to have rear facing radar ?
Ru media again raised the topic of "reverse launch" missiles on the Tu-160M - it will become the first aircraft in the world with reverse launch missiles that will intercept targets "behind its back." In 1994 were news about R-73RMD2 missile with the ability of "reverse launch"pic.twitter.com/kNWdybxqBd

Why not just build a missile that can just perform a 180 degree u-turn if it needs to engage a threat behind the aircraft? Like AIM-132 ASRAAM?
