Indian Navy joins search for missing Malaysian plane in the Malacca Straits

we would have gone for SAR even if there had been no Indians aboard ...

The area and region hold great strategic importance for us .

In a calamity of this sort nationality of victims hardly plays large role ...

We share close ties with Malaysia ...

and it fits perfectly with our look East policy ...


Agree, with each and every-point.
 
No doubt about that :tup:

Last time when YSR Rajsekhar reddy's helicopter met with an accident ....despite GOI pressing 5000 personnel and IAF and ISRO with RISAT and SU 30 with Thermal imaging in SAR operation still it took more than 24 hours to locate the crash site...and we are talking about crash within our territory on land .

SAR within ocean is always challenging ...

But this one had been too catastrophic ...

It is only natural that all countries in the region would join hands in the effort .

Agreed 100% and yes, this is an unimaginably large challenge of epic proportions but it's certainly worth it for those 200 odd families waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones....
 
Also @Indo-guy Which part/parts of an Aircraft can remain afloat for days when disintegrated over ocean?




Six important facts you're not being told about lost Malaysia Airlines Flight 370


• Fact #1: All Boeing 777 commercial jets are equipped with black box recorders that can survive any on-board explosionNo explosion from the plane itself can destroy the black box recorders. They are bomb-proof structures that hold digital recordings of cockpit conversations as well as detailed flight data and control surface data.

• Fact #2: All black box recorders transmit locator signals for at least 30 days after falling into the ocean

Yet the black box from this particular incident hasn't been detected at all. That's why investigators are having such trouble finding it. Normally, they only need to "home in" on the black box transmitter signal. But in this case, the absence of a signal means the black box itself -- an object designed to survive powerful explosions -- has either vanished, malfunctioned or been obliterated by some powerful force beyond the worst fears of aircraft design engineers.

• Fact #3: Many parts of destroyed aircraft are naturally bouyant and will float in water

In past cases of aircraft destroyed over the ocean or crashing into the ocean, debris has always been spotted floating on the surface of the water. That's because -- as you may recall from the safety briefing you've learned to ignore -- "your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device."

Yes, seat cushions float. So do many other non-metallic aircraft parts. If Flight 370 was brought down by an explosion of some sort, there would be massive debris floating on the ocean, and that debris would not be difficult to spot. The fact that it has not yet been spotted only adds to the mystery of how Flight 370 appears to have literally vanished from the face of the Earth.

• Fact #4: If a missile destroyed Flight 370, the missile would have left a radar signature

One theory currently circulating on the 'net is that a missile brought down the airliner, somehow blasting the aircraft and all its contents to "smithereens" -- which means very tiny pieces of matter that are undetectable as debris.

The problem with this theory is that there exists no known ground-to-air or air-to-air missile with such a capability. All known missiles generate tremendous debris when they explode on target. Both the missile and the debris produce very large radar signatures which would be easily visible to both military vessels and air traffic authorities.

• Fact #5: The location of the aircraft when it vanished is not a mystery

Air traffic controllers have full details of almost exactly where the aircraft was at the moment it vanished. They know the location, elevation and airspeed -- three pieces of information which can readily be used to estimate the likely location of debris.

Remember: air safety investigators are not stupid people. They've seen mid-air explosions before, and they know how debris falls. There is already a substantial data set of airline explosions and crashes from which investigators can make well-educated guesses about where debris should be found. And yet, even armed with all this experience and information, they remain totally baffled on what happened to Flight 370.

• Fact #6: If Flight 370 was hijacked, it would not have vanished from radar

Hijacking an airplane does not cause it to simply vanish from radar. Even if transponders are disabled on the aircraft, ground radar can still readily track the location of the aircraft using so-called "passive" radar (classic ground-based radar systems that emit a signal and monitor its reflection).

Thus, the theory that the flight was hijacked makes no sense whatsoever. When planes are hijacked, they do not magically vanish from radar.

Conclusion: Flight 370 did not explode; it vanished
The inescapable conclusion from what we know so far is that Flight 370 seems to have utterly and inexplicably vanished. It clearly was not hijacked (unless there is a cover-up regarding the radar data), and we can all be increasingly confident by the hour that this was not a mid-air explosion (unless debris suddenly turns up that they've somehow missed all along).

The inescapable conclusion is that Flight 370 simply vanished in some way that we do not yet understand. This is what is currently giving rise to all sorts of bizarre-sounding theories across the 'net, including discussions of possible secret military weapons tests, Bermuda Triangle-like ripples in the fabric of spacetime, and even conjecture that non-terrestrial (alien) technology may have teleported the plane away.

Personally, I'm not buying any of that without a lot more evidence. The most likely explanation so far is that the debris simply hasn't been found yet because it fell over an area which is somehow outside the search zone. But as each day goes by, even this explanation becomes harder and harder to swallow.

The frightening part about all this is not that we will find the debris of Flight 370; but rather that we won't. If we never find the debris, it means some entirely new, mysterious and powerful force is at work on our planet which can pluck airplanes out of the sky without leaving behind even a shred of evidence.

If there does exist a weapon with such capabilities, whoever controls it already has the ability to dominate all of Earth's nations with a fearsome military weapon of unimaginable power. That thought is a lot more scary than the idea of an aircraft suffering a fatal mechanical failure.

I agree with personal count and it took 1day for SAR ... but they used mki for hours... not 1day to detect the crash site...
 
Lol.these so called asian dragon is so much ahead of us that they cant trace a jumbo jet for 4 days.finally they have realized that India is much better in satelite tech and requested our assistance.We should quicly solve this issue and show them what we are capable.Come on guys ,lets do it .

shut the fucck up man!

if my memory is right,it was foot patrol that found the site atlast. All these incidents tells us one thing-never fuking mess with mother nature.

If you cannot add something useful, please shut up and do not start a flame war.

May I remind you BTW that we could not find the crashed helo of an CM for days in our own country? Even with military assistance?

Helo's don't have black boxes or known last location by way of ATR, their crash debris is not spread over for miles either.

OT: the search area covers a possible 4000 sq km area of sea...but the whole event surely is mysterious.

Why not think b4 putting up such ridiculous comparisons.a helo in forest vs a jumbo jet in ocean.A crashed jet will have so much floating debris that will spread over a much larger area and with sensitive satelite u can see and locate the area.Gawd this is wat u call contributing usefully.giv me a brk man.lol
 
Good decision, a little late but none the less a good one. Hope someone finds a clue soon enough.

All the best guys to all who are involved in the SAR operations irrespective of nationality

its not as if India found it already.. its a courtesy to ask for assistance from anybody who can operate there, so they did. Time is crucial factor so if all countries join hands, we can have some positive outcome.
 
How appropriate that India joins in the search.

On Tuesday, three days after the plane disappeared while on an overnight flight to Beijing, the country’s air force chief, Gen. Rodzali Daud, was quoted in a Malaysian newspaper as saying the military received signals on Saturday that after the aircraft stopped communicating with ground controllers, it turned from heading northeast to heading west, lowered its altitude and flew hundreds of miles across Peninsular Malaysia and out over the Strait of Malacca before the tracking went blank.

Mr. Robertsson said that since the plane had been fully fueled for a trip to Beijing, it could have traveled a great distance beyond its last reported position. “The aircraft could have continued another five or six hours out into the ocean,” he said. “It could have gone to India.”
