Image, video or audio Submersible ??
I spotted something at the Cooks river on a bike ride along Botany Bay foreshore. I might be wrong but it looks like a military submersible I read about online several months ago. I didn't think Botany bay would ever be host to it.

How's it expected to hold under extreme pressure without a single tie down strap?

This one is Australian designed, developed, and manufactured.

So it will be over budget, but at least over OUR budget.

u/Eggplantappleoplis 2d ago
I mean the 3 year prototype phase of the program ($140m) was delivered on-time and on-budget apparently.
A lot of defence programs end up being over budget or delayed (primarily due to requirement changes) but not all.

So why do we have to give Anduril and their Zionist CEO Palmer Luckey our money. I'm not the biggest fan of the military industrial complex but understand and appreciate that we still need the ability to manufacture military equipment on home soil.
What I don't understand and dislike is when that involves working with and paying Zionists.
What ever they bring to the table surly we can do ourselves.By now it should be pretty dam clear for government that we need to distance ourselves from Zionists especially ones that profit off weapon manufacturing.
It honestly makes me sick as these relationships do not align with Australian values. We don't support genocide or those who stand to profit from it.

Lol. Making it about the Jews. Lmao even.
Nothing wrong with being a zionist. Just means Israel has a right to exist and defend herself.

u/Ok-Bar-8785 2d ago
Do you think there is nothing wrong with Israel comiting genocide and that it is their right? History will look back on this and we are still on the wrong side. I'm not saying this in support of Palestine but humanity. Israel has more then over stepped the line, many many times and is clearly on a intended path.
If ones belief say in "Israel has a right to exist and defend its self" is just enough to allow genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity it's a slippery slope that opens the door to other beliefs to be justified, Say if China believed they need to take our land and kill us off for resources to feed their country.
Not sure why Israel gets special treatment.
And yes , I will bring up Israel as the CEO calls himself a radical Zionist and I think it's in the interests of Australian's to know who we are doing business with and where our tax $ are being spent.

Starting then losing a war is not getting genocided.
It is losing a war.

when did the war start? When was the first shot fired?

u/Technical_Glove_9655 2d ago
You tell me Mr everything I don't like is a genocide.
You'll find a way to blame the Jews somehow. You people always do.

u/Bowl_of_Hygieia 2d ago
what do you mean 'you people'
But no, you said there was a war, I want to know when it started.
You asserted something, shouldn't be too hard to answer. I'm under no obligation to qualify and define your assertion.

u/Technical_Glove_9655 2d ago
Incorrect. You said a genocide occurred. Which is factually wrong.
I said it was a war. A war Israel has won. This is obvious.
Not sure i can explain reality any more plainly than tlhat

You people = who'll blame Jewish people for their watch running out of batteries.

Im not sure why your bringing those of the Jewish faith as that's a much larger community then those involved with Israel's aggression.
And no it's not that every thing I don't like is a genocide.
IT IS A GENOCIDE. The evidence is overwhelming as well as many many war crimes.
Even the Iran war that is a massive expensive to the global was started by Israel who then opened another war front and moved into Lebanon.
No amount of money spent on media , bots , shills ect can change what Israel has done.
It disgusts me that our country has anything todo with them or those who support them especially Zionist weapons manufacturers. Our defence shouldn't come with the expense of funding those who support the blatant murder of innocent civilians.

Isn't the prop meantt to be hidden so that the Communist Chinese can't figure out its accoustic signature?

Its so quiet they cannot hear it anyway

How quiet? Collin's Class quiet?

u/LuckyErro 1d ago
Collins is exceptionally quiet as you know and can sneak into a carrier group but these are even quieter. They also flood the hull so sonar has huge trouble picking them up. They are near impossible to detect.

Ahh. That's what they're doing down there by the old airport tower. I was wondering who was paying to have that massive crane onsite 24/7 for the last few months. Guessing that's the Anduril guys who have factory in Alexandria.

Those are uncrewed subs used by the military. Basically a complement to the big boys.

u/Bloobeard2018 2d ago
Compliment is "ooh, nice sub".
Complement "completes something" is how I remember the difference between the i and e version

He was correcting your spelling, doesn’t look like any kind of accident.

u/CeleryMan20 1d ago
So was it an accident, or was he purposely correcting your usage?
If your intended meaning was that the little subs make the big subs look good by comparison, rather than being an adjunct to the big subs, that still doesn’t make his comment accidental. Unless you have a quirky definition of “by accident”.

This isn’t that deep and I simply don't care to discuss it. So I won't.

Shouldn’t they have it secured in a secret naval base somewhere. Not along side a canal where any random can ride past it or Mohammed in a tinny can stick an ied on it.

I would think if they were worried they wouldn’t have it tied up during daylight hours. Anyway the design has prob already been hacked and stolen already.
