AreWeDrunkYet posted:Are they really any sort of game changer when it comes to terrorism? There are a lot of obstacles to a terror attack other than the weapons involved, and it's not like any interesting targets when attacking civilians are so armored that that bringing a Javelin to the table is a big deal. I'm more worried about Stingers being used against civilian airliners than ATGMs to be honest.

FrozenVent posted:DNV and Lloyd’s have also pulled all support from Russia, and now the Marshall Island registry (a U.S. based corporation) is reviewing whether or not they can still provide registration to Russian owned vessels. Yup. This is a bigger deal than the aircraft manufacturers.

That's certainly a concern, but it doesn't have the ceiling to hit airliners at cruising altitude. They'd have to hit them soon after takeoff or landing. Now that I think about it, anyone know how effective are stingers against multi-engined aircraft? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

A DHL jet got hit by some kind of MANPADS flying out of Iraq a while back, and while it did gently caress up an engine and a chunk of the wing, the pilots managed to safely make an emergency landing. Now, granted that's one single instance, and not something you necessarily want to bet on, but it's an example of multi-engine aircraft being survivable against MANPADS.

I imagine crudely welded angle iron doesn't stay attached after the first turret bounce.

Can we talk about what kind of countermeasures or jammers are effective against MANPADS and are already in place near US airports? My internet girlfriend who lives in Canada loves to talk about this stuff and I want to have some cool new facts to share when we finally meet during on her next supermodel tour in the US.

They were doing honest real life training instead of just attending power point presentation on it. Stuff like this is the difference between an armed force on paper versus one you can count on when needed.
