I feel like having a detectable signal that an enemy would be able to use to track an ejected pilot behind enemy lines isn’t something they would design into a warplane.
Even if the contents of the signal were encrypted, they could still track the unreadable signal to it’s source.
You could just make it passive by default. Only if it gets pinged with the right cryptographic signature does it send out a response. Im sure they have smart people that can figure out shit like this.
They’ll be missing until they’re found dead, or enough time passes where survival is not possible, factoring known survival materials and survival sources in proximity. As of now, the only statement that’s true; they are missing. Everything beyond that is likely or unlikely and you wouldn’t want your search party acting on that.
How can they be missing? Either they can be confirmed dead in the rubble or they were ejected and i assume the ejection seats have gps tracking.

I understand that but im surprised by the lack of information. I just expected better from the largest military in the world.
