Interesting that the US has the capabilities to pinpoint a surface to air system turning on and locking on a target but they can't seem to find a jumbo fucking jet that disappeared
The U.S. Navy almost certainly has at least one signals intelligence (SIGINT) ship in the Black Sea listening to radio communications, SAM missile telemetry, etc. The U.S. Navy does not have a crystal ball to know where a civilian aircraft will vanish so they can send a SIGINT vessel to the region a few days in advance to listen to radio communications and track the aircraft.
