Waypoint IGARI is just 94nm from the Malaysian AFB at Gong Kedak (WMGK). Based there are SU-30 Flanker fighters - I would have though such aircraft would need sophisticated air defence radar to direct them and detect threats.

Are the Malaysians saying that the equipment there couldn't track a 777 flying right past this base and it's movements past IGARI?
