Can the operator not tell the difference between a scud missile and a Tornado?
If the Tornados systems are offline all he and control knows it's an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO)... He can however see from the speed/altitude and movements it makes if it is and aircraft or missile but it could take a long time to figure it out. Iraqis still might have jets, that's why the nofly zone has been brought to live.
