Who said it backfired? The Northerners were determined to defend their airspace with their AAA sites, SAM sites, and MiG 17, 19, and 21 jet intercepters...the USAF & USN jets were determined to bomb them back "into the stone age..." to quote USAF General Curtis LeMay in 1965.
The North Viets did their job & the USAF/USN did theirs. No back-firing to it.
