The International Rules of the Air state very clearly the correct action to be taken by both the interceptor and the intercepted. No where do they say that shooting down an unarmed aircraft is a requirement. Even if the CX 'plane was 'cutting the corner' it should have been escorted out of the restricted airspace, nothing more. Shooting it down was brutal, callous and cowardly.
