Can F-16 see missiles on radar?

[Voy]

So I was just thinking about it, and I don't think I've ever seen a missile on the radar in the F-16. My question is, why not? From a physics point of view, it should be totally possible, missiles are also big metal objects that reflect radar so...

Cruise missiles can be seen on F-16 radar, I even shot one down. Smaller AA missiles I think not.

True, I have seen cruise missiles. But never A/A missiles.

Most aircraft can detect missiles, F-16 included. AA missiles have lower RCS and are less likely to be detected. You can sometimes lock your own in dogfight mode I believe.

I've shot down my own Sparrow with another Sparrow in my F14.

You you can definitely lock on to air to air missiles under the right circumstances.

I'm not talking about the F-14 though, the radars are modeled differently.

I have locked up and shot down Kh-58 fired by a Frogfoot. So... Yes, it is possible.
