There seems to be a fair amount of technical aviation knowledge on this board, and (PARF aside) the general ethos seems to be genuine answers to genuine questions.
Perhaps more knowledge would be available on a specialist aviation board like PPRUNE, but this could be interprepted as a tactless question and asking it on a board where I have over a thousand posts struck me as more appropriate than somewhere with this sort of question being my first post. (At the end of the day, people can review my other posts here and decide whether I am the sort of guy they think deserves an answer.)
The question itself arose from a discussion I had around the 10th Anniversary about the horrific decision the fighter pilots were
almost asked to make. The technical considerations arose from the discussion of the moral ones. I delayed posting too close to the Anniversary out of respect.
I know that the question may appear to ask for "suspicious" information, but really, it's like asking me how to re-open a chest in ICU. I may tell you the theory, but I know you'll never have the chance to do it.
