OK, I'll try to provide some more detail:
say for instance a plane is approaching a navy ship, or the like. The commander of the vessel cannot get into contact with the pilot. It could be just a student who is still trying to master navigation and has not seen the vessel, or it could be a maniac who wants to kamikaze the plane, it is not possible to tell.
Anyway, shoot the plane down and the commander could have killed an innocent civilian. But the gentle approach does not work either.
I need a middle ground, to prevent attack, but not kill the pilot.
What do you suggest?
I hope this clears things up a bit.
Please PM if you do not want to tell here online.
Thanks
