    How much fuel do you suppose was in those wings?

    Does that mean I have convinced you that a plane with a 70mm hole in the wing will still be able to continue flight?

    You have forgotten what I originally said: AIRLINERS.

    And heat seeking missles will seek out heat signatures, like engines. Google images of damaged airliners that still flew. You might learn something.

    Damaged airliners, or WING damaged airliners?

    It's simple: FIM-92's with ammo are NOT easy to come by.

    The projectile is controlled.

    It is different than a cartridge for a firearm.

    There's a shop near me that might have one in stock. I'll stop by there and see if they'll let me take a pic. No rounds though. Same as my Yugo AK, it can launch grenades. No grenades though.

    Yes no rounds. Did you read what I said? I said: "FIM-92's with ammo are NOT easy to come by."

    It doesn't mean you're hard to come by it means they're controlled. Controlled and scarce are not synonyms.

    Yeah, "controlled" meaning not easy to get because of controlled process.

    No controlled meaning controlled.

    Controlled will never mean scarce.

    In reality hitting something thin like a wing would more than likely result in a slightly delayed explosion if at all, as such the wing would be damaged by the warhead traveling through it, while the brunt of the explosion (if there was one) would be external to the wing.

    Those units are designed to hit something thick and hard like an engine where the warhead can do maximum damage, hitting a wing would actually be a miss leaving the aircraft damaged, but still flying.

    I never said scarce. Something which is controlled is hard to get. Don't you know that?

    Actually not, all it takes if filing the proper paperwork and cutting a check.

    However with the booty recently found in Afghanistan, all one needs is cash and they can become well armed thanks to Joe Biden., "the worlds best distributor of high tech weapons to terrorists, at the best prices possible," rumor has it, his administration is offering 15% discounts for purchase's over $25,000 if one is a certified terrorist group and has BOGO deals on Saturday purchases with free shipping.

    Under the control of someone or something.
