Actually it is designed to guide SAMs into planes.
Just ask the people on flight 655.
No, that is completely false. The full name of the system is "Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System"... It was designed by the DoD's "Missile Defense Agency"...
How about a fighter jet?
Sure, you can shoot down fighter jets with normal surface to air missiles. That's what the US would use to do it- their usual surface to air missile system, not Aegis.
