So does it just ricochet off passenger jets or something?

If Germany can shoot one from 2 miles away Raytheon has one that can do it from 20 miles.

NOT a firearm with better range and accuracy than a 30 - ought -six
no need for a background check to pick one up either
although it will be a bit pricey without a government subsidy.

I thought our military already had one for shooting down ICBMs from even farther away than that.

but why does Germany need this ? does it expect US drones to start blasting targets in its territory ?
or are they going to sell it to those who need it, LOL - like AQ AP ?

To defend their nation. Why does Israel need over 200 nukes?
