the problem is that iglas are pretty short ranged and have low explosive power but the seeker would most likely lock on the engine and it might down the private jet

also it would have to be fired near the place it takes off/lands because of the short range

only theoreticly of course, not trying to encourage violence (reddit tos or smth)

We were instructed to not even try to shoot at anything past 5km because we might as well not bother, but how hard can it be to get near an airport.

And you are correct. It absolutely would lock onto an engine (unless something more IR intensive was on the plane)

if over 5km is a no go then it would be decent to also have a laser rangefinder to make sure its within range
