Water in the missiles water in the submarines what’s next.

If only free and unbiased/uninfluenced journalism was a thing over there.

In unrelated news, the Chinese Navy engineering performance program to improve speed by reducing weight has been cancelled, and engineers have been warned never again to use the phrase “screen door”.

Where did it sink? They might be trying to claim that sea by planting a flag at the bottom.

They sunk it themselves so that it is not captured by the Allies.

It’s a submarine. It’s supposed to sink.
Only inferior capitalist submarines float again instead of staying properly underwater like a submarine should.

China and Russia are failing militarily lately.. a missile fail and sub launch fail. Submarines are not cheap… That’s a big loss.
I was thinking after the missile explosion, if it’s possible that an AGI super weapon could be developed that could input itself in any weapons program of an adversary and make it fail. All the while, being the first AGI weapon, would develop such defenses and spread in ways to defend itself to hamper any other efforts to develop one to be used against it. It just lets itself into a submarine’s system let’s say.. let’s China waste all the time and effort building it.. all seems well. They deploy it and boom, activate the AGI systems in place and it sinks it just like that. Or having Russia develop this super missile, put it in the dock.. boom, literally. The defense system triggers and blows up the test missile, and the launch pad.
If one country could develop that they would pretty much win war right? Infect literally everything. Shut everything adversarial down, drop planes from the sky. Sink or deactivate ships and satellite connections. Cripple anyone who isn’t on the right side.
I’m not sure how impossible that is. But it popped in my mind as something that seems theoretically potential given how things connected/ run globally.

It would be hilarious if it was sunk by all those rockets North Korea keeps firing into the sea.

But but the Chinese government has always been so transparent and honest with the world. Recent example includes allowing scientists to accurately trace where pandemic originated from and creating safeguards in wet markets so another pandemic won’t originate from them again…. Oh wait….

It’s a submarine it’s supposed to do that, honest

Thank God we can rely on the world militaries to call out each other’s corruption and inefficiencies, finally a power structure that embraces the prospect of angered retaliation.

Not a very good coverup, it’s on the front of Reddit!

I know this story makes for some good jokes at China’s expense, but they are quickly building up a modern navy and should not be underestimated. One sure fire way to lose a fight is to underestimate your opponent. Sure, they lost a sub, but they have been ramping up their ability to build ships for over a decade and aren’t slowing down. Their aim is to have localized Naval superiority in their region and they are well on their way to doing so.

They’re just equalizing pressure more efficiently

Aren’t they supposed to sink, or have I got the whole principle completely wrong?

NHI got em? Get too close to their subsea assets??

Typical Western lies. It was the ocean that covered it up.

Why are they all calling it a nuclear attack sub when the dock where the sub was under construction only builds conventional diesel subs? Are they trying to sensationalize the story?

I don’t feel a country covering up military operations is really that unusual. Why would you want to announce to the world your latest efforts have failed? Not exactly something you’d want to speed dial your adversaries to gossip about.

After they recover it, I wonder if they’ll drop it in a dry dock and cover it with rice.

More like the water covered it up amirite
