Not how that particular system works. You basically bolt it on and it’s purely automatic. No real pilot involvement. Doesn’t work against the kind of radar guided missile the Russians used to shoot down the airliner over Ukraine.

This DHL was operating out of Baghdad without one.
El Al aircraft on the other hand have been equipped with anti-missile systems for many years. I don't have a photo of an El Al jet with a missile hole in it.
