What do people expect?
Well one things for sure a serviceman can not reveal classified data, no one in MIL is going to jump onto CNN and risk a court martial and time in the stockade.
And yet I am quite sure under the scrutiny and intense interest in finding this plane, anyone with half a heart or morality would risk it, not even wiki leaks has picked up on any traffic..
As for having a G5 or AWACS in the air 24/7, impossible, cos then you need a tanker or another G5 and so it goes, and what is the current threat situtation in the region, mild to luke warm.
Govts don't have that sort of cash to throw around, look at the fuel cost alone in boats and planes from Western Australian, millions per week, which we the tax payer will foot the bill for..we are already 70 billion in the red in the budget and cuts are starting even in defence budget..
JINDALEE OTRH runs on Diesel fuel at some sites so again need to have transmitting and not at night.
Anyone found as much as one piece of foam or Mylar or any other floating object anywhere yet?
If it broke up on impact and the Mylar insulation was still in that plane body there could be hundreds of pieces floating around like the Halifax Nova Scotia fire and crash.
