I was making a point that outdated armaments are modified and used for different purposes.
Red sparrow could have nothing to do with a missile.
The Russians vowed to attack any platform attacking syria. It is my guess that the sparrow played a role in the confidence of attackers not to fear that reprisal. Think the cook has any sea sparrows?
Or I'm postulating that having a missle capable of mach 4 being upgraded for launch from a drone platform would be possibly useful.
Trump said missiles would be coming smart and secret. Are you saying it is impossible to make a air to ground sparrow that flies at intercept speeds of Mach 4. be tuff to shoot down wouldn't it.
A thought.
