If you'd say RPG are the biggest treat in Bagdad i'm just wondering if you're living on a cloud or so. Most attacks at ORBI have been made by shoulder fired SAM's SAM 7A/B.

The previously discussed procedure should also give a "bigger" IR signature so the SAM might get confused and miss. Altough this is purely theoretical since the exhaust of a turbo prop is milked out pretty much.

Altough certain captains from various operators prefer a high speed straight in.... high speed in a turboprop hehe.
