Andaman: India continues to assist Malaysia in search and rescue efforts for missing aircraft MH370. Two Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft from India, one P8-I of the Indian Navy and one C-130 J, of the Indian Air Force carried out extensive search and rescue mission in the Southern Corridor on Sunday.
The search has been hampered so far by rain, wind, storm-tossed seas, low clouds and fog, but both aircrafts carried out nearly 10 hour sorties each.
A growing international fleet of military and civilian aircraft has converged on the region. Including Australian and British naval vessels tasked with retrieving any objects from the forbidding waters along with seven Chinese ships. Chinese military aircraft have joined India, Australia, the US, and Japanese planes in search efforts.
China reported on Monday that one of its aircraft scouring the area had seen “suspicious” debris.
