1) the american pilot wasn't shooting childrn, he was shooting goats. Probably couldn't even see your mother, but could see a goat flock
2) how to take down a modern air defence destroyer.. 20 kamikaze speedboats to keep the gun busy, 20 kamikaze Cessnas, another 20-30 toy radio controlled aircraft with radar emitters, 10 land bases sea skimming missiles, and 2 or 3 ballistic missiles.
All timed to arrive within sensor range together. If you time it so that a civilian aircraft is overhead at the tume., all the better
