Chinese underwater drone found lurking…

SINGAPORE — An underwater surveillance drone recovered deep inside Indonesian sovereign waters last month has been found to be of Chinese origins, according to defense analytics firm Janes.

The “missile-like” object with wings has been identified as the Chinese-built autonomous underwater glider Haiyi or “sea wing,” said Kelvin Wong, Janes’ principal unmanned systems analyst, in a Sunday note.

A fisherman in Selayar Island, South Sulawesi, has found a UUV:

Length: 225 cm
Tail: 18 cm
Wingspan: 50 cm
Trailing antenna: 93 cm

Very similar to China's 'Sea Wing' UUV, which, if it's true, raised many questions especially how it managed to be found deep inside our territory pic.twitter.com/RAiX8Xw2BK
