But actually what I find much more 'disturbing' is the the sometimes ridiculus amount of handheld SAM the AI purchases. An even dozen and even more MANPADS in a half battallion sized unit is quite a lot more then realiticly to be expected IMHO.
I've found that having a pair of SEAD aircraft make runs over the battlefield in that situation will end up causing the AI to waste its MANPADS. The high EW of the SEAD aircraft makes its very difficult for MANPADS, AAA stands a better shot of doing damage at times. A small sized helo like a Kiowa skimming the edge of their SAM range also works in a pinch. After two or three turns most of their MANPADS are used up or down to more bleveable levels. But if they have large SAM sytems (SA-6s or Hawks etc) then its a diffrent ball game.
