The general idea is that if you don't have at least 5 up-votes in a tag you probably don't have enough domain-specific knowledge to be suggesting synonyms. A good question (or answer) can easily ...

Should we broaden our scope to include questions related to Air-to-ground weaponry as well?
No, I do not agree they should be included in the scope.
