This is a possible scenario. So that means you need

a) intel as to which flight you want to attack and precise times; and

b) back to problem 1: you'd have explosives residue. None was discovered in 800.

LS —

One thought to consider: A proximity-fused SAM does not leave explosive residue. It kills by spraying a cone of small cubes of metal towards its target. These frags break things, sever fuel lines, rupture tanks, break windows etc.

Now these *DO* leave telltale holes where they puncture the skin of the aircraft.

I have no data on what the skin of the aircraft looked like.

Just food for thought.

I was thinking more on the lines of targets of opportunity and as far as explosive residue. You’re right, none found.
