I dunno if this acutally does something, but instead of the regular button to release flares in the Harrier I use the emergency flare button, which puts out way more flares that one would by using the regular program. Since the Harrier has quite a lot of them, might as well use them and keep those persky fox 2s away

I was stationed in Okinawa and we did and operation every year where we moved to an expeditionary airfield and we always had a complement of Harriers with us. Toward the end of the operation the "enemy" forces would attack our airfield with both air and ground elements. Watching the Harriers chase F18s around while they're doing mock strafing runs 50 feet off the runway was a blast. They never really had a chance though.

Against supersonic fighters, it would be at disadvantage for defending against incoming missiles. It was not designed for that. You'd be reliant on the surprise effect against competitive BVR fighters because the Harrier is too slow. The enemy can escape you but you can't escape him, he can defend your missiles but you'd have a hard time defending his.

Heat seekers don't always need to target the engines. When travelling at high speeds, the front edges/ leading edges of an aircraft get REALLY bloody hot. Hot enough to make for a good Fox-2 target. I've often wondered why GS never utilises this in BVR fights. I mean, he could equip the LONG range Russian Fox-2's and take an 80km (50 mile) shot at a bandit. They'd never know the missile was incoming, because its seeker is passive. Unless they saw the missile, they'd never know it was flying towards them. In fact, he could use this to take out multiple F-22's at 50 miles, as long as the F-22's are flying at high speeds (jet exterior reaches about 120 degrees Celsius when flying at Mach 1). Also, if the seeker is locked on to a target whose temp is about 120 degrees, it's NOT going to be fooled by a flare burning at a minimum of 600 degrees. The temperature contrast is too great. It seems like this would be the ideal way to deal with aircraft that are hard to spot on radar. Just use IRST or EO systems to find them, and send an IR seeker to kaboominate them.
