Interesting, but I'm pretty sure that nothing can fly within 500 mile of Iran without Israel's permission.

Just read it, pretty moronic actually.

"The fact that this aircraft was able to fly undetected for at least four hours after the transponder was turned off means the plane can very effectively be used as a “stealth” weapon of sorts, and it could theoretically be deployed over major cities across Europe, Asia, the Middle East or even North America."

Cool story bro

I'm pretty sure that once it's within range of radar that's non-primitive it would be spotted. Otherwise if it was out of the range of modern day radar than it could be anywhere really.

I was thinking Enders game, but of course that wasn't about a population war, and my entire collection of 350 scifi paperbacks vanished 8 years ago along with all the Orson Scott Cards, but my kids did read them.

lol. yeah right. there has been 50+ years of research going into tracking planes for various purposes. Pretty much from the moment a passenger jet takes off it's tacked by radar almost continuously until it lands. I'm sure there are gaps in the coverage if the plane goes off any normal flight path into buttfluff nowhere over the ocean, but even then.
The only way is if
1) the plane went boom
2) the plane crashed into something and went boom
3) the plane landed on an aircraft carrier in the middle of buttfluff nowhere.. and I'm not sure how a passenger aircraft of that size would manage to do that safely although i'm sure someone in the navy or familiar with such things could clarify if/how this would be possible.
Even so sadly I would go with 1 or 2 as the most likely scenarios.
These days it's hard to believe that a plane of that type could enter another country's airspace unnoticed.. other than some island somewhere and even then..

I think it's in the Xixnjang (sp) region of Western China and the Uighurs have it. Otherwise, I don't really see the point to all of the very deliberate actions whomever piloted it took to try to knock out passengers with pressure change, disable transponders, etc. I mean, even if the guy is committing suicide, that will look more suspicious than anything else. The part I don't understand is the co-pilot being the one to say all right, good night after the transponder has been turned off as I don't think he's the culprit here.

Those transponders boost the range for detection of aircraft and report geographical location, speed, heading and altitude, in the absence of the transponder, the aircraft is only visible to a radar powerful enough to be able to bounce the signal off the plane, in addition, let's not forget the curvature of the earth since radar is a line of sight operation. In the Indian Ocean, there are not many "advanced" radars in use, except for naval radars possibly in use by warships of the US Navy, Russian Navy, Chinese Navy, etc. The Indians have not spent a great deal of cash on advanced radar systems, nor has any other nation in the area, they just don't really need it. Thus, there is logically a huge blind spot over the Indian Ocean outside of the AOR of an Aircraft Carrier's battle group, which may not be out at sea, but might be in port somewhere, again with the limitarion of the curve of the earth. The plane going down in the Indian Ocean is easily concievable as there may not have been anything there to observe it. Speculation that some nation seized the plane for potential use as a weapon delivery system is not out of th realm of possibility given the extreme range capabilities of the aircraft.

Fundamentally, at this point, it's a waiting game. It can['t be hidden forever if it has been appropriated, and if it did go down in the Ocean, then there is a hell of a lot of space for it to be lost in.

It's a crap shoot right now.

I believe this would have been in the sequels to the spin-off... Probably Shadow of the Hegemon.
