edt: ^ someone mentioned that KLM 836 was at 30,000, I'm not sure if that's true or not but since MH370 was known to be at 29,500 that would be a pretty ideal gap for picking them up.

No clue, I'm not familiar with the Iranians. If you want an even crazier theory someone could be setting up the Iranians to have Israel and the USA bomb the shit out of them.

The guy it comes from seems to have some pretty solid sources and be pretty knowledgable. IIRC he's worked in plane security for 13+ years or something.

1) Would radars not notice there is TWO, instead of 1 plane?

3) Would KLM 836 not notice another aircraft is following close behind and sneak for help / clarification?

1) Radar isn't exact, by positioning MH370 near enough to the other plane (keeping the other commercial flight between MH370 and the ATC makes it even better) it's likely the ATC won't pick them up on radar.
2) Only if they get detected, which it sounds like there's a good chance they wouldn't be.
3) With the MH 370 transponder working, KLM 836 would see them and their collision warnings would likely sound. With the transponder off, they could see KLM 836, while remaining unseen themselves.
