Exclamation What is the risk now?

The greatest risk to civil airliners now must be that of being accidently shot down. There will be some very itchy trigger fingers everywhere. Don't think so? Remember the Iranian Airbus in the Gulf. I'm not going anywhere without 2 serviceable transponders, fail to squak or communicate and there will be very little time for defenders to decide what to do if you are near a big city.
