Many thanks, Mr Optimistic
So as per Gums’ post if your main “ risk “ is inadvertent shoot down, then don’t fly towards known sensitive areas. Inside 15 miles you’re extreme at risk, if directly flying towards missile batteries etc. As seen. The operator has seconds to decide if he wants to live.
But as per Optimistic’s post. If you believe you are the intended target, then the range of the missile becomes the main factor. So maybe 250 miles.
So all I have to do, is ascertain if I’m an intended target.
This brings me onto the two or three accidental shoot down of airliners, at 100 mile plus ranges in the past.
Can I forget these, as they were just training accidents?
