From what I've read, Ukrainian MiG-29s have had a moderate amount of success launching AGM-88 HARM missiles toward the general vicinity of where they suspect air defense radars to be. The EA-18G and F-35 have better integration with the HARM missile, better ability to detect radar emissions, and better ability to jam radar emissions.

If the Russians are struggling to prevent Ukrainian SEAD missions, American ones will give them fits.
