    "IS can now recommission thousands of missiles assumed by western governments to have been redundant through old age.

    Heat-seeking warheads can be used to attack passenger and military aircraft. They are 99% accurate once locked on."

    I cannot post a link but it is from sky news...

    Surely all airlines should be avoiding flying over Syria and Iraq? I know Emirates does avoid it by flying over Iran, but seemingly not all airlines...?
