While not impossible, it would take really good luck to hit a low flying predator with an unguided RPG. Most of the time they fly above the altitude that an RPG could even reach. Even hitting one with an MANPAD SAM, such as an SA-7, SA-18, or even a Stinger, would be difficult because they don't emit all that much of a heat signature. Although the more modern heat seekers would have some chance of bringing one down.
I wholeheartedly agree -- but it would be better for them to try, and make themselves a target.
Maybe something with more a signature could be used to temp the terrorists to attack. Especially just after prayers -- then it might be possible to track who went to the person to the Mosque, etc.
There has got to be ways to help them tip their hand.
This was done at Fallujah with diversion attacks with tanks that would feign an attack, and then withdraw
This caused the terrorists to expose themselves for a fake manuver -- saving lives.
That is my whole -- things that might save friendly lives and expose the enemy.
