One of the things that one doesn't see much written about is small subs -

we always see about big nookes, we see discussions about diesel V nooke - and we see about attack subs and ones that are built for defence

what one almost never sees are articles about subs for terror attacks. Not just by terrorists - but, as weapon carriers for military purpose -

small teensy things - which are sacrificial - carrying things that go bang - bigly

why would they be lethal? ----------- Well.

Where's New York. Where are ports. Where is Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane.

Targets aren't just military installations and of strategic military importance.

Imagine a little underwater craft slipping into New York or Sydney - is it possible to do so without detection?

Well, drug runners seem to think so -- imagine a small nuke device on a tiny tiny submarine, either released from a ship offshore or sent from a long way away in some foreign land -

from what we see of 'surveillance' - for example - Chinese ships off the WA coast - SURFACE ships - big things - choofing along - and Aussie defence KNEW their location - then - pooof - they lost them

if you 'lose' a bloody big ship on top of the water - what's your chances of losing a little baby sub UNDER the water - with a very large firecracker in it?

The Japanese did that in WW2 in Sydney with what is now ancient mini sub tech.

We've seen what the Ukrainians have done with above water drones in sinking russian ships and they are basic compared to what could be done
