Now the question is, why our Air Defense didn't intercepted it. Where were all the assets recently inducted and otherwise? Or we lack the capability?
Before, people start giving the "we didn't wanted to show our capability" excuse, what if the missile was armed? Before impact, we didn't knew that it wasn't. So it should have been assumed to be armed and intercepted as soon it entered our airspace.
Not very encouraging !!!
International flight routes could have shot down an international flight by mistake.
Even patriots and iron done work by ignoring targets that are not a threat and will fall harmlessly .
They were trying to asses HQ 9 ...if that was not a mistake and error
Anyways far more useful in intact form
