They’re rehearsing to steal it. The problem with putting Airdales in command of carriers is that they never remember to take the keys with them when they park them.
Once they get the tailhook welded onto flight 370 they’re going to practice.
Of course it’s for propaganda. A 5 second video clip of a missile exploding it is all they need.
You fool! That's only half of the plan! They plan to steal it and replace it with their infernal doppelganger!
