Some reports say the flight characteristics of this plane were very similar to what radar showed after the Russian airliner was bombed
If so then these terrorists have perfect a mini explosive that severs all communications when detonated probably in a specific location
It’s been my fear for years that they would perfect an easily mass-produced and smuggled consumer product as an IED. I thought it might be cans of shaving cream first. But I guess jihadis don’t use the stuff! I just thought the bottom of a shaving cream can would be easier to reseal convincingly. But J-B-Weld on the bottom of an aluminum soda can appears to have been sufficient. If they can be carried into Europe by “refugees,” or if they are being made in France, aviation is in big trouble. France is riding the tiger, they can’t fire all the Muslims in aviation as ground crew, etc. They are screwed, and we are not far back.
