Summarize your bug AIM-260R Radar Missile is not affected by BELOW RADAR mechanic when flying a chopper (haven't tested with airplane).
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Pilot a chopper 5-25 meters above the ground on any mode, map, etc. 2. Have an enemy get in a jet, and fire a AIM-260R Radar missile at you.
What happens when the bug occurs? 1. The missile locks on and strikes the chopper despite being Below Radar, which should prevent all lock-ons from vehicle based anti air lock-on weapons. 2. Flaring prior to missile striking you has no effect. The lock-on warning happens so fast that popping flares at the same time has hearing the warning is simply too late. As it is now, you need to pop flares BEFORE the missile is even fired for the flares to be effective.
What should be happening instead? AIM-260R Radar Missile should not be able to lock on to a vehicle flying under 30m.

Nothing else to add. Thank you!

    Plus it can't be dodged by countermeasures, or at least 8 out of 10 it will hit you regardless
