An unknown submarine was discovered off the coast of Japan

An unknown submarine off the coast of Japan was discovered by the country's Self-Defense Forces. This was reported by the Japanese Ministry of Defense.

As follows from the message, an unknown submarine, while underwater, appeared twice in the south of the zone adjacent to the territorial waters of Japan, but was not included in them. Minister of Defense Taro Kono called on the Self-Defense Forces to be vigilant and ordered the collection of information on this fact.

On June 18, the destroyer and patrol aircraft of the maritime self-defense forces spotted a submarine heading west in the adjacent zone off Amamioshima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture. On June 20, she was rediscovered outside the contiguous zone off Yokoate Kagoshima Prefecture

- said in a statement posted on Twitter by the Japanese military.

The Japanese Ministry of Defense does not declare ownership of the discovered submarine, but do not exclude that it could belong to the Chinese Navy.

It is reported that the last time an unknown submarine, probably belonging to the PLA Navy, was discovered in early 2018 in the area of ​​the southern Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu), which are the subject of a territorial dispute between Japan and China.

Do not exclude that it could belong to the Chinese Navy.

And why not the DPRK, with which Japan has strained relations? They probably said about China to be in the American trend of fighting China or ...? Concerning vigilance - practice shows that it is certainly better to overdo it than to overdo it. Well, keep your eyes open and gather information.

Not a fact, it could be so. There it went, then what kind of crap constantly crawls out (if you believe the TV)

Stepan, Putin has an alibi.
And I would rule out the enemies of Japan, Mongolia.

And I would have left Mongolia, they twice in the 13th century tried to land in Japan. And Belarus would add. These can ..., not in vain Psaki was going to send the 6th fleet there.

Something all this Japanese fuss reminds the Swedes, who since 1981 have been catching an unknown submarine, presumably before 1991, Soviet, and now Russian.

I also thought about this, the methods of indiscriminate accusations (allegedly discovered "unknown submarines", but immediately point the finger, whose they should be considered "the world community") are the same as those of the Swedes.
By the way, I once read a book of memoirs of an American submariner about the intelligence operations of the Cold War. There was also about their "secret missions" off the "neutral" Swedish shores (possibly with provocative, anti-Soviet-anti "neutral" goals).
So, it is quite possible that the Swedes are completely pointing in the wrong direction ?!
And the current interest of Japanese revenge-seekers (Washington's vassals striving to fully restore their former might in the Asia-Pacific region) in the "discovery" of Chinese (Korean) "unknown submarines" is more than understandable.

I think so too, and the Japanese statement makes sense, like "Give us 4 islands, and there will be no more unknown submarines"

Found it, stubborn people. It turned out to be their oceanographic buoy. In fairness, it should be noted that they also found the Russian submarine in the process of searching, it was "Som", which perished in 1916.

And what is the "noise and electromagnetic" portrait of broken buoys and "Loch Ness monsters", which with enviable consistency find in their territorial waters the valiant Swedish Navy and identify them as Russian submarines? Do you think that the Japanese are cooler than the Swedes, or they have one master?

[Thrifty]

It is possible that there the Yankees arranged a walk in order to check the Japanese anti-submarine defense.

[TermNachTer]

The floating scrap metal that the DPRK now has is unlikely to get there unnoticed. You must understand that this is the same Chinese nuclear submarine. So that the samurai worry for themselves, and not for the Kuril Islands

[silverwolf88]

"Stockholm submarine search syndrome" in Japanese ... well, a submarine ... whatever ... did not enter the territorial waters ... strange news ... probably hundreds of submarines patrol across the seas and oceans without entering other people's waters ...

Well, at least not like the Swedes who caught a meteorological buoy throughout the country.

I am for the Chinese, Japanese perverts, my younger one loves anime, I know what I'm saying.

[SOVIET UNION 2]

Well, what is there to comment on? They showed that the self-defense forces of Japan vigilantly serve! They showed that Japan is in the ring of enemies! The Japanese need to strain, make money, buy new weapons, conquer their territories! And what is interesting! Such crap goes around the world! Of course there is no world conspiracy! But why is this happening all over the world? After all, there is a global trend, and this is not casual! If it inflates, then someone needs it!

Again a submarine of unknown buoyancy. The way she conquers the beast, she will cry like a bud.

Nda, do not define the boat as a Chinese SSBN pr.094 "Jin" - this should be done.

And why not the DPRK,

DPRK will have such boats for the 100th anniversary of the DPRK, not earlier

Once the Swedes wanted to catch a Russian submarine, which supposedly rubbed somewhere near their shores. Does everyone remember the denouement? It turned out that it was farted by a herring. Chr. you walrus, not the Kuril Islands!

[notingem]

In the photo moisture Chinese

[Piramidon]

Do not exclude that it could belong to the Chinese Navy.

Thanks to the Chinese. At least some part of this accusatory delirium has been switched over to itself. And then it was always Russia alone to blame.

[pleschakovai]

Most likely it came an inflatable submarine from the steppes of Ukraine to scare the Japanese! They are now, after the States, the most important scarecrow in the world, however!
