PK of Igla vs. airliner?

Little missile, big-ish airplane.

Countermeasures in the commercial fleet seems like an expensive
proposition. One or two "successful" attacks (losses, even) wouldn't
stop me from flying.


But many other people sure would stop flying.
And the PK depends on how the SAMs are used,what point in the flight the
SAM is launched,like landing/takeoff,low and slow.Recovery from loss of an
engine during TO/landing is much more difficult than during regular flight
at altitude.

Countermeasures would be cheaper and better for the economy in the long
run,and better for a planeload or two of PEOPLE in the short run.(IMO.)
