And so with disregard to the target aircraft, radar paint, flight level, speed and/or heading or the standard overflight air routes, the SAM installation operator and his/her commander/adviser, with seemingly no IFF information, fired on the unidentified jet. It demonstrates an absence of any rules of engagement, comprehension of air route networks or target risk assessment and that this was either a premeditated act or just reckless action, both of which would constitute either a barbarous terrorist act or war crime regardless of the perpetrators.
