Richard, agreed! Chaos breeds confusion but this would be a colossal mistake and a tactical blunder to launch a golden BB into a commercial air cooridor in hopes of downing a legitimate military target.
I remember the IranAir shoot down and whether it was intentional by Iran or not to provoke the US Navy, the results and world opinion was accomplished.
How do you change world opinion? Shoot down a commercial airplane filled with kids on holiday.
