FAS shows probability of a fighter kill by SA-18 as somehwere
between 30 and 50 percent. Not sure how that was measured.
Therefore, I'd imagine that PK on a liner taking off, is near 1.
Most of them have two engines now. Good luck gaining altitude with
one out. But today on CNN I read it's about 50/50 which sound like
BS to me.
Of course that PK is for *one* SAM fired. ISTR that the Kenya attempt
used TWO missiles.
Terrorists learn as well,they might do better the next time.The attack
in Kenya was poorly carried out.The next attack will probably against
an aircraft on final approach,and at a closer range.Or imagine the
damage a small group of RPG-armed terrorist could do if they crashed
through the fence at a major airport in a pickup truck,and started
blasting away at all the aircraft in sight.Or a few men armed with
0.50 cal. sniper rifles - readily available in the US.The
possibilities are endless.
There should be anti-vehicle ditches(filled with gators! 8-) ) around
every
airport.
Hitting a passenger jet with a .50BMG (single shot or semi-auto,10 round
magazine)will not be easy,and will have little effect,as hitting something
critical is unlikely.Probably go in one side and out the other,very little
damage.
Not if they use ammo like the Norwegian Raufoss multi-pupose round,it has
explosive,fragmentation and incendiary effects as well as an armour piercing
slug.And it is readily available in the US.You can buy a 0.50 cal. sniper
rifle for just over 1000$ - the terrorists wouldn't even have to smuggle
weapons in to the country,just buy them there!
