How deep-sea mining is growing China’s influence in the Pacific China’s oceanographic fleet — the largest in the world — may serve strategic, military-use purposes.

🌊 #DeepSeaMining or something more?

A new investigation finds China’s “research” vessels spend just ~6% of their time in potential mining areas. The other time may be used to gather data useful for tracking #Submarines and #SubSeaCables. 👀

Worrying how the #DeepSea is getting too geopolitical! ❗

Putin's favorite submarine returns to service, fueling Arctic nuclear buildup Karelia is the submarine on which Vladimir Putin - then acting president - spent a night at a depth of 50 metres in the Barents Sea in April 2000. Now upgraded, the vessel is preparing for deterrence ...

According to the U.S. 2026 Annual Threat Assessment report, the Kola Peninsula hosts “about two-thirds of Russia’s second-strike nuclear capabilities”. #NorthernFleet #SSBN #NuclearWeapons #Submarines #Gadzhyievo #Severomorsk #BarentsSea

Meanwhile #Australia committed $368 billion to #aukus ( ie #USA and #Britain) for a handful of #submarines that are unlikely to materialise. Yet the #money has been flowing to #America since we signed that #dumb pact.

Petition: Launch a parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS

The AUKUS deal will cost taxpayers at least $368bn to build nuclear submarines for the U.S. with zero guarantee of a submarine for Australia.

After observing how #drones have been used in the Russia-Ukraine war, I presume AlboPM is reconsidering strategy.

I expect that the rise of drones, will have resulted in studies of unmanned #submarines but defence won't comment publicly.

As its Orka programme progresses, questions remain for Poland’s deep strike ambitions Poland’s selection of the A26 submarine for its Orka programme may bring to an end its long-running search for a new attack boat. However, the design lacks a clear solution for Poland’s deep strike requirement.

Johannes Fischbach provides an excellent breakdown of the difficult question of arming #Poland's future #submarines with long-range guided missiles.

You might be surprised to know that Tomahawk missiles can only be launched from ships and submarines, not aircraft, and are actually a pretty rare and exclusive missile system only used by a few countries.

And, for Australia it's also awkward #AUKUS price tag.

Fyi, it's conservarively around $34 million a day - so that is approx $245 million a week Australian taxpayers are spending on #nuke #submarines that will never materialise.
