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.


Say, where's our little buddy Tamas? I'm sure he'd like to jump in and let
us all know how he feels about civilians trying to defend themselves from
SAMs...

(For those who may or may not know, he's flat out said that civilian
airliners that try to evade or defend themselves from SAMs should be shot
down.)
