TCAS I have no idea. Transponders, close to 50/50 maybe the edge goes to transponders. But there are a lot of VFR aircraft that aren't squawking.

VFR aircraft are supposed to squawk 1200, your only problem is aircraft with no transponders, but they're restricted from controlled airspace.

Has anyone else seen this news report that they've found as many as 20 of the rare Mark XIV Spitfires with the Rolls Royce Griffon engines in mint condition that were ordered, delivered in crates, and promptly buried in Burma. Awesome.

There's probably a lot more to the test that's not in the article. They don't usually just go up there to plink a couple-hundred-thousand dollar missile at a multimillion dollar aircraft to make sure the shelf life is still good.

The military retrofits F-4s into UAVs and then uses them for live fire training over the gulf. Just Youtube for QF-4 drone and you'll see results like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xISpZYajveA
