The MH370 incident showed up another Mudland military defense loophole.
The RMAF only have radars left behind by the British.
The MH370 left the military rader screen at South Chin a Sea, it then made an unexpected turnaround.
And re entered malaysia air space.
why is it that when an UFO entered the country airspace, they are unable to identify the plane or whether it is friendly or spy.
How come no aircraft sent to intercept the possible intruder ?
What if the unidentified plane head for the twin towers in KL?
In more developed air space environments like North America and Europe, a constant monitoring is undertaken. And there is close co-operation between military and civilian air traffic controllers.
So, if military radar operators spot an unidentified contact, normal procedure would be to check with their civilian counterparts as to whether there is a transponder reading for identification.
If not, there would be an attempt to contact the plane by radio and, again if there is no response, ultimately to scramble fighters.
These are all procedures that have been long established, were regularly exercised during the Cold War, and have been refined since 9/11.
Of course, all radar surveillance has its weak spots. Tracking aircraft flying at low level, for example, is always challenging.
And even the most sophisticated systems can be caught off-guard by the unexpected
