And then you go, was that an inadvertent launch?
Because sometimes they go off on their own.
Yep.
And an OSIR missile went between us.
Most likely.
Well, I like to say miss by an inch, miss by a mile.
A miss is a miss unless there's a proximity warhead, in which case you're screwed.
Yeah.
So the goal when the missile comes at you and misses, which it's going to with the, with the countermeasures, um, is to get out of the engagement zone.
So either you put terrain between you and the, the guy that might have another missile or, uh,
Well, that's really all you can do.
And so I dropped down.
So I had on board, you know, General Franks, who's in charge of all of the CENTCOM AOR, his wife, General Harrell, the whole entourage of staff.
So they can hear the conversation.
And the next day, so we dropped down about 10 feet off the ground.
Like, I mean, you know, pretty much no higher than the ceiling here.
They can't get a lock.
So if you have terrain in the background, the seeker head has a tendency of not being able to pick you out of the clutter.
That's the goal.
Or if you can get down in a low enough swale or a stream bed, you might be able to block them with some kind of terrain.
