It is amusing that they are using SeaRam... a naval SAM... just like AEGIS Ashore in europe as their ABM system using naval SAMs as ABM systems... because US AF and Army SAMs are shit.

No need to hurt them but they do need a bit of encouragementGarryB wrote:But hang on... they are not killing the American drivers and collecting their bounties from Putin...

Perhaps it has to happen to bring a sense of reality to US/NATO plans for their air forces. Mind you, the AShM hitting the M S Atlantic Conveyor container ship (much like a carrier) in the Falklands War did little to dent the use of carriers, so who knows?
But will they be able to pull off a buy ?
