I dunno; that plane flying KAL007 that day needed two SAMs to down it.


Those weren't *SAMs*,


I got a little chuckle out of that too, Buf.

they were Air-to-air missiles and generally much, much
smaller. Anyone know which missile type brought down KAL007? Atoll?


One size larger - and a radar version I think.


The shooter was an Su-15, so I'd expect it to be some flavor of AA-3.
