Thanks. But could you elaborate a little further for us noobs what it means/benefit by using another commercial flight to 'shadow' it?

1) Would radars not notice there is TWO, instead of 1 plane?
2) Would having two planes close to each other not even raise more alarm?
3) Would KLM 836 not notice another aircraft is following close behind and sneak for help / clarification?
