Yea, if he wanted to fly it into water, he could have done that right away.
If he wanted to fly it into his Gov’t or a building, he’d do that right away.
It’s somewhere..... Getting ready to be used in a SINISTER plot, imho.
It’s clearly waiting for its moment. I’m not sure what the target will be, and I’m sure nobody else knows either. The Islamists hate everybody in the “great powers” sphere: the US, the Russians, the Chinese.
I don’t think they’d waste their time on Europe, having effectively subdued it with the Madrid and London bombings, both low-tech but obviously enough to get their point across.
So in my opinion, the target is one of the three above. India might also be a possibility, because India was rather unbowed by the horrible attack a couple of years ago and the jihadis vowed they’d be back. However, I’m not sure India would be a big enough prize for them.
Israel is out of the question because Israel would shoot down an unidentified plane in a heartbeat and also has the technology to monitor its airspace down to the molecule.
Thinking strategically, what would give them the most bang for their buck? I think it would be something symbolic, but I’m not sure what.
