That was back in 84-86 it would definitely be done now by the 'C' model or a Raptor that's if there hasn't been some major advancement in space based weaponry which we can all say there most surely has.  :)

Many thanks a1 and Chrism.  The missile is the gmax cruise missile which I have distorted/resized and added a slight perspective too.  It was done with fsrecorder m8. :)

Lol well not much above 100,000ft being as fs is limited to that.  But if you want an imagined answer I'd love just for kicks to shoot down a Chinese satelite lol (Just for kicks of course) :).
