Stolen cargo breaks down to 10k rounds of pistol ammunition, another 9,9k rounds of rifle (dummy) training rounds, and an unspecified amount of smoke grenades.
The incident was only detected by Bundeswehr personnel, once the delivery arrived at its destination.

This on top of the commendable military tradition of using a 24 hour time system like civilized people, and not the weird AM/PM approach, like savages pretending half the day isnt really worth thinking about for time management.

Pretty vague all around. "Task Group 989", comprising the Type 071 LPD Changbaishan and cadet training ship 81 Zheng He, is currently heading towards Malaysia, from Vietnam. Obviously there may be other vessels underway, to say nothing of civilian flagged ships.

The vessels may be heading towards Australia, less than a year after a naval task group sparked alarm when it unexpectedly circumnavigated the country.
"The location of the ships has not been revealed. It is also unclear whether the vessels are naval or scientific in nature, but their voyage has triggered enough interest to warrant closer attention."

A troubled & delayed program to meet an operational requirement to replace a single (!) submarine in limited service yesterday. What can possibly go wrong.
As I said before, a notionally good development for Saab. Whether it's going to work out is an entirely different question.

Einfach irre, wie man ohne Wimpernzucken einfach mal so von einem Aufwuchs von 70% innerhalb von zehn Jahren reden kann. Bin sicher, die viel fabulierte Wehrpflicht wirds richten.

Neumann also notes Luftwaffe has "plans" to grow by 21,000 personnel until 2035 to meet "air and space"-requirements incl for NATO, from a current 29,000. Which gives you a rough idea how grounded in reality certain expectations are. 🤷♂️

Das aendert aber nichts daran, wie schnell TKMS einzelne Fregatten baut. Dass die Spezifikation fuer Deutschland an sich Zeit braucht, ist eine andere Frage.

Meanwhile Bohai's new yard facilities are pretty much complete, similar to the connecting infrastructure. This is where new 09IIIB have been built since at least 2022, and where future SSN and SSBN will see construction. Theoretical output is considerable (2022 vs 2025).

Just as notable, perhaps more so, is increasing berthing structure around this key yard for nuclear powered submarines. Huludao also serves as naval base for the PLAN training squadron, with associated hulls seen in the pictures (2022 vs 2025).

As already noted by others, GE has refreshed their imagery of Bohai. The most notable detail is a Type 09III-B SSGN fitting out pierside after launch, and a Type 09IV-A SSBN also undergoing significant work. I think this is a hull in deep overhaul, not a new boat. But tbc.

The "not really" part of course having been a factor (supposedly) in the spat between HDW/TKMS and Sweden.

Der Witz ist ja, dass das immer noch total illusorisch ist angesichts der tatsaechlichen Verhaeltnisse bei der Bundeswehr, die wir nun so bereits seit zehn Jahren haben.
