...for the scrapyard!

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

Still in better shape than Iran's Kilo boats.

Hmmm...how long before they start being refurbished and put to sea?

That will depend on how much the British government offer to pay for them

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

Smoke and mirrors

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.
