China acquires additional Kilo class submarines...

...for the scrapyard!

The Jingjiang Denfeng Ship-breaking Company is going to break them down.

I am more concerned with China having the technology to get the number 054 to hover like that. :o:o:o:o

That was JPL's next breakthrough technology. The civilian market would have benefited with "billboards that seem to float in the air". From a defense standpoint, our enemies abroad would have been too busy flailing away helplessly at our new floating propaganda weapon to bother to put up a defense against a conventional assault. :yep:
