There's been a lot of talk about the northern track going through various nations which enforce their airspace security tightly.
Is anyone familiar with the air defense quality/enforcement of Myanmar?
It would appear that there is a 7,000'x100' runway at Puta-O in northern Myanmar in the Himalayan foothills, that also happens to meet with the intersecting arc of the Inmarsat over the Indian ocean that is being circulated. It would also seem to be within fuel range, especially if flying below 5000' as speculated. It's also very remote and possibly not 'connected' readily to the outside world?
Just found it to be an intriguing possible search location, but have little familiarity with Myanmar's air defense capabilities or enforcement.
