With insufficient data, it's possible to assume many things. What does confident mean? Confident that it won't be detected in stealth mode in the open ocean or confident that it can go into shallow waters infested with enemy ships and remain undetected? Those are different. USA is confident that you can't pick up F-22 from 500km away but not likely confident you won't see it at barely BVR with multiple aircraft radars from every direction.So, it's possible to assume PLAN was confident on 093B's noise level.
Blame what? A ship for following you from a distance? Is that illegal? Did the US blame Chinese ships for tailing them in the SCS?If there was not hot pursuit, why didn't Chinese government blame JMSDF's chase of 093B in high seas outside Senkaku's contiguous zone?
Generally speaking, you don't send your submarine into very shallow waters controlled by a hostile nation. We've already established that this is not a normal case.Generally speaking, at least in textbook theory, any submarine's operation based on assumption that the sub will be easily detected is ridiculous.
I ask you again:
Could you address this? Especially the last paragraph. https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/pl...r-submarine-thread.t6883/page-161#post-496905
