Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 'winders will need some means to acquire the target and launch. The Harriers have those means built in, but if you wish to fire those missiles without the Harriers, you'd probably need some electronical engineering and parts stripped drom the planes to make it at all feasible. And it of course depends also on what model the missiles are (that being rear-, rear- and side-, or all-aspect).
