For those concerned about no fighter aircraft doint an intercept on this, what We have running CAP would not even need to leave the CAP Station altitude to splash an aircraft like this.

There would be a visual I.D. by an aircraft that can fly closer to the same speed without stalling and if needed after that the pursuit would all be done by RADAR and FOX1 = SPLASH = The End.

Fox 1 refers to the launch of a "Sidewinder" AIM-9 heat seeker missle.
A better choice might be a AIM-7 "Sparrow" (radar guided.) A sparrow launch would be a "Fox 2"
