Failed Misslie Attack in Iraq

The heat-seeking missiles had no chance of hitting the transport plane, which was flying at an altitude of 4,000 metres (14,000 feet) at the time, said British military officials...

This is not the first time planes using the airport have been targeted. A missile was fired at a transport plane last week, missing it by one kilometre.
Seems to be lots of hardware available, but no idea how to use it -- so far.
