Maybe sstRams can answer this because he works close to those 'in the know'... or someone else here?
Intercepting planes. That was in the news in the last couple of days.... what does it mean? My point: Other than shooting a plane down what can 'intercepting' actually accomplish? It's not like NASCAR where they can bump into you.
Say I wanted to fly a Piper Cub into the Niner's radio station tower.... other than shooting me down what in the hell can they do to stop me? Fly by and alongside and flip me off? What if I don't care? Hope that I can read lips and call out that my father 'smelled of elderberries'? Again... what If taunting doesn't work on me?
And say they do decide to shoot me down... but I'm flying over a populated area? Do they have one of those Jedi Grappling hooks that can snag me out of the air and tow me over a cow pasture before releasing me?
For the life of me I can't think of anything they could do other than threaten me, (which assumes I've got my radio tuned in to their frequency), and then shoot me down regardless. Granted... I used a poor example... who would want to stop me from taking out a Niner Radio Transmitter but WHAT IF I was threatening the Golden Oldies Radio station? - JamesJM
