Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Indonesian Sub Declared Lost

After finding debris identified as coming from their missing submarine, the Indonesian Navy today declared the sub sunk with no chance of survivors. They will continue to search for whatever remains of the German-made submarine, which had been in service with the Indonesian Navy since 1981, to determine what happened to cause the loss, if possible. The sub, with a crew of 53, was on torpedo trials and about to submerge when it was last heard from on Thursday.

God bless the sailors!

Somehow I don't think this is hidden in a New England river like the Red October.

I remember when Thresher went down. It was shocking, and also mysterious and spooky. Something off the Twilight Zone.

The Chinese probably sunk it or Trump did.

I don't see the issue, I am sure the krauts can build another.


Balibo five.

That's pretty crass, sir.

So was the indonesian killing of the bailbo five.


Fuck 'em.


And fuck any that have sympathy for them.

I wouldn't want to drive a 1979 car to Denver, let alone cruise around in a 1979 submarine.

thats a shame. hopefully they died quick. hats off to those that choose to serve in subs. i would never do it.

i lost track, is indonesia a friend or a foe anymore? hard to keep track these days. seems i read they were the largest muslim country or some such.

the women are little cuties for sure.

To the north-west of us and definitely not friendly.

I hold a helluva lot more sympathy for the submariners than for five effing media types, to be honest. Even Indonesian submariners.

You must be thinking of your media types, those particular media types were actually real journalists recording a foreign invasion.

Quite possible, J. I'd never heard of them until your tag.

Edit to add: At any rate, and separate from one's viewpoint, a sub has been lost with all her crew. That's newsworthy and that's why I posted it.

Murdered by Kopassus, so I am given to understand.

Here

They executed another on the docks at Dili.

In Australia nd NZ it's only a question of who will invade first.

China or Indonesia.

AUS/NZ have joke militaries and NO Nukes.

As Israel and NOKO have proven, a small country with no nukes is an easy target.

Probably wait until world is diverted by Israel/Iran conflict to move in.

BTW Germany built Israel four nuke cruise missle capable subs, 2 of which are always on station with Iran in the crosshairs.

They will never invade, there is a rifleman behind every blade of grass.

Oh wait, they surrendered their guns to the govt. and all the grass burned up. Oh well I guess they're fugged. Ask their Abos about above ground nuclear testing.

Fugk that made me laugh.

"There will be a rifleman behind every blade of grass."

Good one.
