Question #4: If the pilot wanted to avoid detection, what better flight path than north through the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayas at night?

"We have many radar systems operating in this area, but nothing was
picked up," Rear Admiral Sudhir Pillai, chief of staff of India's

Separately, a defense source said that India did not keep its radar

the reason was, the source said: "Too expensive."
