hard kill active protection for aircraft

can helicopter and jet fighter use rocket like hydra 70 to defense it self from enemy air to air missiles ?
it seem that a hydra 70 use flechette warhead can be very useful in shot down enemy missiles (just like APS system on tank )

M255: Flechette warhead; contains about 2500 28-grain (1.8 g) flechettes (M255E1 has 1180 60-grain (3.8 g) flechettes)

with 1000-2500 flechette per rocket if the hydra 70 is fired to the enemy’s missiles direction it very likely that something with hit enemy missiles and destroy them , no need for accurate aim 😎 , and 1 rocket pod can carry 19 rockets
