The only fighter I ever flew with surface anti-ice was the F86D/L. The
only time I ever heard of anybody in the outfit using it he got
serious damage to electrical circuitry inside the wing from a break in
the ducting.
FWIW if the indicated airspeed is around 300 knots the ram temp rise
is high enough to prevent icing. Most jets I know of do have engine
anti-ice and heated windscreens.
