Requiring a line of site makes it much more difficult than giving real-time tracking data away


That's why The Rurists (Terrorists) try to hit a plane when it takes off or lands. Easier to hit. Even with a stinger. Just hang out by the airport with your favourite Stinger Launcher and you're good to go. No need to hit it at 30,000 feets. I'd hit it at landing takeoof the ground taxiing etc. Works for me.


No wonder that’s why 9/10 of the weekly terrorist takedowns of aircraft I read about are near airports.
