It was picked up by defence radar at 2.15 am on Saturday morning, 200 nautical miles or 360 kilometres NW of Penang as an unidentified aircraft at 29,500 feet according to the chief of the Royal Malaysia Air Force, Rodzali Daud.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this position seems to me to be a mere 25 NM or so south of Phuket in Thailand, and a line connecting this and the other known position crosses Thailand. Have there been any comments from them?
