Weave and/or yo-yo or overhead orbit, they can't fly at 75kts but they can stay in proximity by a number of methods and bring guns to bear on the target during the turns.

If you have a point, you may want to get to it at some time. On the other hand if you just want to randomly slag the military, carry on.

They always take off in a 'huff' when they figure it out.

Completely unrelated, but we periodically get intercepted over France by a Mirage or two. They will often come sit on the wing of the mighty Herk, wave, take pictures, etc. I, of course, will always, very slowly & subtly, retard my throttles little by little while waving enthusiastically, taking pictures and watching their AOA increase. They always take off in a 'huff' when they figure it out.
