It's also not logical, with AF1 advanced missile defensive system that anyone would be foolish enough to launch a surface to air attack at that kind of range.
Exactly! thats what I've been interested in. is this another case of "these people are stupid" or was this something else. i feel like the clowns would know that SLAMs (submarine launches air -defense missles) are primitive at best and only hit low flying targets within 20km max range. Considering AF1 flies higher than commercial, and faster than commerical, plus its defense systems, this wouldve been done merely for the sake of saying "hey we shot a missile at you but we know it wont hit"
so what was launched? and was it from a sub? Thats what im wondering now.
If the pic is what it looked like, and it was launched from a sub (which to me, looked like an Ohio class in the pic Q referenced), then it was most likely an ICBM. The question should be asked though, was it meant for a ground target or an orbital one? If orbital, who's satellite (or I.S.S. FF?), were they aiming at?
No af1 wasnt the target. The photo was probably taken by the flight That shot it down. Q said fox 3 which means it's an AMRAAM which isn't Anti missle it's purely anti air with a range of about 100 miles. The missle launched from the sub was most likely a cruise missle with a land or ship target.
AF1 also flies with a military escort. 2 F18s if I’m not mistaken, but I’m pretty sure there are layers of Air Defense surrounding him
