a good read on how the accident happened

the tanker can see the warship even with its AIS turned off and pleads on the radio for the warship to turn
but the warship somehow cannot see the tanker heading towards it and only turned "a little bit" (even then they turned the wrong way) after hearing the tanker's radio

lel even in murica their subs force oni comes out in the news when its either got compared to other russian or chinese subs, they rarely or never even really talks about their ops
cukur rmn subs pretty active in their involvement to train with international force compared to other subs force in the region, even compared to sgpore of cuz

for a military "leaning" news outlet u shud check out airtimes.my
their news is pretty centered around the military issue
even one their top category is "pertahanan dan keselamatan"

of cuz still got but those are just tidbits to what they really do considering they have boomers out in the ocean all year round ready for second strike capability
its pretty much the same here, either its buried under small title in the news or only discussed in forum like lowyat/mmp/btdm
though the subs really did got more publicity recently due to that paskal muvi

low public awareness cuz media dun even bother with military news
go to btdm page literally every week got army intercept ketum/drugs at the border and there is a big asean army shooting event this week, but did mainstream news got publish? nope

oopss.. hope they get well

if both side starts to shoot each other, the UN literally can do shit
the UN oni there as a "de facto" municipal administration.. wanna see garbage truck with UN logo? go there

Indonesian soldier killed in separatist attack in Papua

JAKARTA: A soldier has been killed in Indonesia’s eastern province of Papua where security forces are hunting for a separatist group suspected of killing at least 19 workers building a bridge, a military spokesman said on Wednesday.

The killing of the workers is one of the worst outbreaks of violence in years in Papua, home to a simmering separatist conflict since it was incorporated into Indonesia after a widely criticised U.N.-backed referendum in 1969.

Colonel Muhammad Aidi said the number of workers killed in the attack had been revised down to 19 from 24, based on the latest accounts from four survivors.

The survivors were followed by separatist militants to a military post where a soldier was killed in a gunfight, Aidi said by telephone from Papua.

“The TNI (Indonesian military) post was attacked on Monday morning by a significant number of the armed group using military grade weapons, as well as spears and arrows,” he said.

Aidi said on Tuesday a construction worker who took a photograph of separatists celebrating what they consider their independence day appears to have sparked the killings.

BREAKING: Police chief confirms 20 killed by Papuan rebels

National Police chief Gen. Tito Karnavian has confirmed that 20 people were killed by an armed grouped linked to the Free Papua Movement (OPM) in Nduga regency, Wamena.

"Based on current information, 20 [people have been killed]. Nineteen workers and one TNI [Indonesian Military] soldier died," he said on Wednesday.

The workers were employees of state-owned construction company PT Istaka Karya who were assigned to build a 275-kilometer section of road to connect Wamena and Mamugu, which is part of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s signature trans-Papua road project.

"After [the gunmen] committed a savage massacre on Dec. 1, they attacked a TNI post in Mbua. The post was actually built to protect the workers and had a force of 21 soldiers," Tito said. "It was attacked and the soldiers retreated, but one was killed."

There had been conflicting reports of the number of people killed by the rebels, with police initially saying that 31 workers had died, while Istaka Karya president director Sigit Inarto said that there were only 28 workers at the location. (kmt)

mostly pr works
msian base is pretty far from the border after all so not much happening there

its a small detachment after all so they dun really need that much firepower
bigger detachment like indonesia really brings the heavy guns.. as they have had "unfortunate encounters" in the past
