LACKOV - YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. A LJR at least gives you to opportunity to avoid the airspace. There's a very interesting video graphic reproduction of an actual mid-air which occurred in the States between two fast twins - one saw the other about 3 seconds before impact and his attempts to miss barely provided control surface deflection prior to that. The viewer could see by the countdown timer that with two fast twins and both looking for the other at the right spot reaction time is immaterial. If you're gonna hit you're gonna hit and you need every bit of information to aviod that opportunity. Combine this with hi-speed/low visual profile mil jets doing AVM and you gotta ask why not in MIL airspace???????? That is the reason for that airspace and any different is a flagrant disregard for safety.

Handing over.......
