    Why a missile? Iran has drone fleets, it would be way easier to send a drone swarm. Wouldn’t even have to be weaponized, just hope one gets sucked through an engine.

      A 757 can suffer a failed engine, no problem. Probably has a good enough glide ratio to suffer a two engine failure at enough altitude. Missiles are faster and can reach higher altitudes.
