Unfortunately the paper falls short in the same way probably 90% of recent writing on PLAN does: the well sourced and researched period prior to the 1990s is always enjoyable to read (much of it in English writing established by Wilson and Xue Litai, as the author notes). However, once writing moves into the late 1990s and then 2000s, the sourcing starts to fall apart, with proper research replaced by rampant speculation. Which in itself would be fine if it was outlined as such.

Yes they do appear to believe that all PLAN submarine advances are largely due to Russian assistance (willing or otherwise). I did learn about airbag dampening though.

The cutting edge is to use neural network to adjust the various airbags according to the vessel’s conditions
