SAM terror
Hi Guys,
Believe me - the World changed after 9.11!
No matter what we do the terrorists will always be one step ahead...
Portable SAM are made to shoot down light/medium aircraft and disable heavy. It won't be too far ahead in the future, when somebody puts 2'n'2 together and fires a bunch of SA18s at a Jumbo on approach... Just to make sure they score a kill...
By the way US gov declined to sign a treaty not too long ago banning self destructing land mines. It only takes a few extra $$$$$$$$$ to make smart (self destructing) SAMs, so they are useless in the wrong hands...
But MONEY talks and, who cares about a few hundred pax a year, who might loose their lives in a terror attack?
For sure not GWB...
