To be honest I think the best use of these is to provide regional cover for slower moving helicopters and prop aircraft that can take on the brunt of the swarm, the F16 is there to look into the swarm and identifying fast moving rocket powered flying bombs and other dangerous incoming threats and tackle them before the wave hits the other air defenses.
