Could I launch it from the ground, or does it need to be launched from the air? Could i just strap it to a Cessna, or does it need other systems (radar?) to work? Does it need the original war head, or can you attach any old explosive device.
In short, if I as a potential terrorist wanted to shoot down a plane, would this be a reasonable starting point?
30kg of high explosive could be useful to a generic terrorist but it's unlikely that the missile itself would have been used.

But then the asking price seems high, it doesn't seem to have a warhead so this is just the missile.
Which leads to the question, if an incompetent party that was careless enough get busted has access to an old and useless missile, then what do the competent independent groups have access to?
Some sources say "ready to be armed and used" but with no other detail.
Some others are mentioning Matra as the manufacturer.
