    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.

      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.

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