I still say Myanmar. The hijacked plane wouldn't have to pass through a lot of air defense networks.

The arc passes close to northern Iran, through Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, and through northern India and the Himalayas and Myanmar. An aircraft flying on that arc would have to pass through air defense networks in India and Pakistan, whose mutual border is heavily militarized, as well as through Afghanistan, where the United States and other NATO countries have operated air bases for more than a decade.

Seems the 777 is in the Indian ocean.......as someone here points out if it went over land many radars would have picked it up.......again an SSN can find a strong active source.........for Blazer......I served also on a DDG for four years and am familiar with surface and air sonar capabilities.......weak at best compared to an SSN at 1000 feet +............betting on the 777 ditched in the water and possibly scuttled.........time will tell......motive.......anyone...,,?????.......FYI.......we may not have vectored a boat there.....too valuable an asset for such a trivial mission given Ivan is wiggling.....
