This story reminded me of this, “I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth, I knew not where;” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
So,the same applies for shooting AA or SAMS into the air, and miss the target, they can/will fall to earth ANYWHERE.
Must be a new concept for Zeepers to understand that, what goes up WILL come down.
I shot an arrow in the air, where it lands I do not care; I get my arrows wholesale." by Curley Howard
