I'm not so certain. In my experience with this scenario the SU-27 SEAD element does not engage the NASAM's at all. However, when I plot a target for the SU-27's, the AI will engage the NASAM targets. So, I repeated the process over and over about five times. Each time there's no target for the SEAD guys, they do not engage any target at all. So, what I did was to plot an attack in turn 1, 2, and 3 with my SEAD element in the Bombardment screen. And, each time, now the SEAD guys engage targets.
Now, I reasoned, Russian satellite intel would pick up the NASAM and would target those threats very early. Although the RBS-70 SAMs pose a viable threat to strike aircraft and attack helos, it is the NASAMs that carry the first priority.
Again, given the Norwegian anti-air envelope, the Russian forces need at least 1 SEAD element and 3 strike elements.
Also, I would purchase and deploy attack helos as a section fighting together.
It remains a challenging scenario.
