By the OP's logic, if I wandered mistakenly into the wrong side of town at night and was murdered it would be my fault.
Was it the fault of the people on Korean Air 007 to get blown to hell by Russian dogs?
Missiles don't kill people, Airlines do ALERT!
There is no excuse for this bullshit. That gear is sophisticated enough to know the difference between a passenger aircraft and military.
NO, that NOT the OP's logic. This plane didn't "wander". It was routed by Malaysian Airlines to fly through a war zone, where other planes have been getting shot down. Starting to focus for you now ?
I thought your first statement was exceedingly dumb until I saw your last one.
EARTH TO RCC: The missles can't differentiate between military and passenger, and the planes they had been shooting down, were neither of those. They were cargo planes.
The missiles can't tell the difference but the radar system with a properly trained operator can. Putting that weapon system in the hands of untrained personel makes whoever gave them the system culpable in the resulting crime of accident.
Upon what do you base this ? And what leads you to conclude this was an "accident" ?
