New Delhi, Feb 14 : With China's burgeoning ambition to meddle a finger into the tiniest of geopolitical crevices, one can never be sure what will be found washed-up in one's backyard with the ominous 'Made in China' tag. Last month, an Indonesian fisherman mistakenly netted an innocuous object off Masalembu. The object later turned out to be an 'Underwater Glider' of Chinese origin.
Not surprisingly, a recent RUSI, think tank on international defence and security, report indicates that this is only one of the many such instances wherein such Chinese Uncrewed (or Unmanned) Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), also called Gliders, have been 'discovered' in different parts of the world's oceans.
