Remains to be see whether SubBrief will be the voice of reason this time as well.

Every time some country accuses China of something, something worse happens shortly after.

Sometimes worse things happen before:

• Minuteman III ICBM launch failure late last year
• Sarmat ICBM failure a few days ago

Chinese missiles were filled with water until the successful full-range test of the DF-31AG a few days ago.

Please answer in the icbm thread and not here, but what indications are there that the recent icbm test was of df31ag and not of some other icbm model?

If you Google search for "Zhou class submarine" you can trace the spreading of US propaganda throughout international media. I only found one other article from 2013 mentioning a Zhou class.

I think part of the issue is that these people end up having influence on policy wether on purpose or not, which means their bad faith actions can have very real consequences.

Yeah real consequences like thinking China has less subs that it does, which isnt China's problem and infact exactly why China keeps all sub info top secret.

Nobody officially from DoD has come forward to support this story, the article is just him and "unnamed" source from the DoD and you know what "unname" means? Is bullshit, is all made up.

This isn't correct.

Sources being "unnamed" or anonymous is not uncommon when disclosing information if a sensitive nature that a source doesn't want their name attached to.

However, the credibility of what an anonymous/unnamed source says, depends on the exact text and quote which is stated, as well as the credibility of the author in terms of their competency and trustworthiness.

Just to be sure how weird would be to navigate a big 20 meter tall submarine who by definition would navigate blind in a river where sediment banks just move from one place to another, this is close to the coast where the Yangtze is suppose to have 40 meters, you can see the hazards everywhere.

Someone has found some more accurate hydrographic data for Wuhan:


汉口 is the river port for Wuhan, you can see for 2023 it had low water mark of 0.31m occurring on 18th of March and high water mark of 8.89m occurring on 7th of October. Average of 6m sounds about right to me.

It's strange those cranes had different shadows. How many suns do we have around Wuhan?

Wuhaners are trisolarians.

For now I think we should keep the discussion about this story in this thread, considering we don't know the full details of what has or hasn't happened nor the identity of the submarine in question (if there was one to begin with).
Moving discussion to a different thread and then having to re-move it, is not ideal.
