Don't black boxes have beacons of some kind?

I'd also imagine an airtag is useless in this scenario as if it crashed and no one knows about it, it's likely not near someone's Bluetooth enabled phone either.

i feel like a beacon on a military jet would be counterproductive if the jet were to fall on enemy land

Do they not put beacons on their seats either? How did they find the pilot? I'd imagine if it were an issue, it could be deactivated in wartime or over enemy lines.

They can turn them on/off depending on their needs. I'd imagine you train exactly how you'd fly.
