Comments by "Be Kind To Birds" (@BeKindToBirds) on "Why Can't We Find MH370 ?" video.
You have no idea how things work at all. This is like saying the army should have had a tank in the road to stop a guy who robbed a bank 50 miles away and 5 minutes ago.

@puma.will.pounce7590 Malaysia is a huge county with an extremely powerful airforce made of F-18's and Su-30's and the US airforce trains with the royal Malaysian air force frequently. The Su-30sm and the F-18 can both fly over twice as fast as a 777 and also MUCH higher. The Royal Malaysian Air Force stated they didn't send out interceptors because the aircraft didn't present a threat. Interceptors are to stop things from coming to you, not away from you. If this plane had flown into the air defense region of any nation while off course it would have been intercepted. So besides underestimating the size and strength of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (one of the best equipped and trained in the world, one of the largest also especially considering the wealth of the country) you have also underestimated the capabilities of the Su-30 and F-18 (two of the most modern and powerful jet fighters in the world) quite drastically. It wasn't intercepted because aircraft weren't sent because it wasn't coming toward them and that's what jet fighters are for.
