Re: But did they test for....
I remember my training on that. It burned very hot and metled. If it did that more than a few metres above the ground, it would either all be burnt up before it hit the ground or would hit the ground in microscopic pellets.
The engine it had just gone through might make more of a mark though...
Getting such a device through an engine is a non-starter though. BUK missliles contain much more than 454 or 908g of explosive and have a honking big rocket at one end and a serious targetting system at the other. The biggest and best civilian drone that the government hopes will "go away" is insignificant in comparison.
