It makes sense. Russia is using 1980s weapons. Why not counter them with the improved HAWK which was our counter for them in the 1980s. It's a missile that doesn't get enough love but reading from declassified journals on both sides of the Iron Curtain, NATO was building its defenses around it and the Soviets considered it to be a huge problem. And we know it must have been useful in the Iran-Iraq War because it was one of the items the Iranians wanted in Iran-Contra.
Remember when Ted Postol claimed in 1991 that it's impossible to shoot down Russian missiles so we shouldn't even try? What ever happened to that guy anyway...
