I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

TEEJ, thanks, those would be from the video I saw. Just an aside on runway interdiction.

In the Falklands the aim was runway denial.
In GW 1 the aim was to pin the aircraft down to allow them to be plinked.
In GW 2 runway interdiction was not necessary as aircraft could be plinked before they could launch.

The best counter air is kill the crews. Next best, but easier, is kill the aircraft.
