Why is it so hard to track down the debris of the large objects shot town over NA this weekend?

Looks like they’re still looking for it. But why wasn’t as easy as just having a helicopter fly out there and tracking it while it was on its way down?

Lack of radar signature, which is why they weren’t detected to begin with. Satellite imaging also takes time for repositioning to scan the target area, and since they’re being shot down over water, there is a limited window before they sink and require sonar to locate (which is harder than you’d think).
