Got so old meh? I thought it is retrofitted in 2012?

"The 1,395-tonne KRI Nanggala-402 was built in Germany in 1978, according to the Indonesian Cabinet secretariat’s website, and underwent a two-year refit in South Korea that was completed in 2012."

But we also dunno what is being renewed.

If this photo is anything to go by, MV Swift Rescue is going full speed ahead to get to Bali, but it will still need 3 days to get there.

Zahid: Our Submarine Can’t Dive

Malaysia’s first submarine, a European-made Scorpene delivered last September, has developed problems that make it unfit for diving, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today.

The KD Tunku Abdul Rahman sailed into a grand reception last year as the first of two commissioned from French contractor DCNS and Spain’s Navantia for a total of 3.4 billion ringgit.

We also have dunno 1 or 2 rescue subs. It is a small craft that can take between 15-20 persons. It is on 24hr standby 24/7.

A bit odd to ask another country to help to look for military asset. If MH370 could not be found until now...

It’s common...especially with our neighbors...when found wwii mines...in the name of joint exercise...but we go in first...😅

[macrosszero]

The submarine's test depth was 250 metres, and their media is saying it was lost in waters around 600-700 metres deep. 

Unfortunately I think it will be a recovery, not rescue mission.

I think the submarine crews' life is priority over the submarine. They still stand a chance to be rescued. Asset lost can always earn back. Life lost means goodbye.

We are the only Maritime Task Force in this region with up to date and operational equipment. Don’t ask us, ask who? Look around.

[Dankoo]

@Watwheels It underwent a two-year total repair in South Korea that concluded in 2012, according to state news agency Antara. In that process the submarine’s structure, navigation, and underwater weapon and sonar systems were strengthened, it reported at the time.

And yet these ppl always like to pick on us. Knn, got trouble only they will look for us.

[Playtime]

the thing is...  it is possible that someone else may have picked up the sub last location. perhaps another sub in the area.

problem is how to tell??... cos next question later:" Eh WTF you tracking our submarine for ah???!!!!"

Till today I still wonder if MH370 was done in by a conspiracy involving several governments.
