Again, based on what? We're talking about very different things here. And even the cellphone thing is absurd, because we all know how effective all that has been - militias in Iraq and Afghanistan are stronger than ever. Heroin and cocaine prices in the US are at an all time low, because deliveries by land, sea and air are getting through and supply is high.
But none of that matters because where's the technology? If you can actually demonstrate the type of radar or other satellite sensor capable of this kind of surveillance at the level of coverage needed to track planes in even more remote parts of the world, then we'll see. If history teaches us anything though, capabilities of new sensor technologies have typically been over-valued in peacetime, only to be found wholly deficient during war. |

My wish would be that the technological capability did exist and a 'lucky find' could be attributed to the planes location but I think had the aforementioned been possible then an announcement would have been made a long time ago.

Who knows what exists...Bin laden was tracked from the US ,not from Pakistan or Afghanistan..Put under surveillance there once he was found...I can sit at this computer as any of you can..and track any flight in real-time..I watch when friends are flying in and track the flight the whole time..there is something fishy with them claiming they don,t know the flight plan..They let out that some sort of signal is automatically sent from every plane to satellites and it is not able to disable this from the cockpit(in effect ,a tracker)..If the oceans were being monitored 50 years ago with SOSUS,,why would today be any different?
https://www.strategypage.com/dls/art...m-2-5-2011.asp BTW what is that BETBET thing in my last post?????? if this article was let out,other capabilities far beyond that are NOT being let out..Just like the US stealth fighters and bombers...If these were officially released to the press,, that means something else has taken its place and has made that system almost obsolete... Have to answer the "heroin" thing..Too much money involved for someone (who knows who) not to look the other way,,so many cases of cops only busting druggies after NOT getting their pay-offs..Always been that way,, will always stay that way..even during prohibition...Corruption is just doing business. http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/techno...acoustics.html Last edited by scorpiondown; 04-07-14 at 10:02 AM. |

^ scorpiondown, you're right some of the western countries have the technologies as you mentioned However and it is a big however.
You have to place some of these satellite over the area of where the plane went missing. What I understand USA has placed 2-3 of these satellite above following countries/area: North Korea, Syria/Iran or middle east and Ukraine/West Russia. The area we speak of is not a political hot spot therefore no area of satellite surveillance. Just for your information I'm talking about military spy satellite. Markus |

China is the reason that area would be covered with surveillance...The US is worried about China increasing it,s naval capacity...I live near Cape Canaveral and there are always classified payload launches that are only covered on the news around here so people can watch the lift-offs..What are they???only can guess..More than just a few of those satellites lurking around up there..Military has an Un-limited budget especially for security reasons..Between US base in Diego Garcia,,Antarctica and Australian assets...Indian ocean is pretty well covered i,d think..

The search for Flight 370 was declared "The most difficult in human history."
