And you may well be right about the sheer numbers of MANPADS missing. But let's unpack that for a moment. Let's say they got 250 of them, heck, even 150 of them. And lets say that of that number, half actually get deployed to someplace where they can be used to bring down a commercial airliner.
Why would a jihadist waste a missile shooting down a commercial airliner when they have the chance to bring down the plane carrying the man who singlehandedly brought down Osama bin Laden.
