No disrespect is intended to poor personnel on board that aircraft or their families. Shame is actually on IN and IAF for gobbling up billions of dollars and leading their nation to believe that there isn't a thing that can hide from them. You guys come here everyday convinced somehow that everything that Pakistan moves is being watched by your military and then this happens. In a cruel way, you learn that your guys can't find their own aircraft which wants to be found and had no means or intention to conceal its detection. Now think of a submarine lurking in same waters and doing everything to conceal its existence! Now repeat after me: shame on Indian Navy and Indian Air Force for deceiving their nation!
Thank you for validating my point. I know you inadvertently did so. Point being, it is extremely difficult to detect something in vast deep ocean. If it was a Pakistani submarine, I would say good luck to your P-8 and whatever! This incident has shown their real capability.
