All 53 crew members of the missing Indonesian submarine were killed. What was the cause of this tragedy?

The touching missing submarine in Indonesia has been found. The submarine was broken into at least three parts, and all 53 crew members were killed, which is sad. The cause of the submarine accident is still uncertain, but an Indonesian official said that an oil leak was found near the submarine's last position, which may mean that the submarine's fuel tank was damaged and caused the tragedy, but the specific cause has not been determined. OK.

There are different opinions on the cause of the submarine sinking. The miracle that the crew's families hoped for did not happen. Because based on credible evidence, the Indonesian military has determined that the submarine has sunk.

What happened to all the 53 crew members missing in the Indonesian forecourt?

On April 21, 2021, an Indonesian Navy submarine lost contact in the waters about 60 nautical miles north of Bali while conducting a launch exercise. There were 53 people on the submarine performing a training mission. The Indonesian military dispatched a number of warships to search the sea area where the incident occurred, and requested Australia, Singapore and other countries to assist in search and rescue. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the submarine was near the location where the submarine was lost. Oil leaks were discovered in the sea. The Indonesian military later announced that the submarine had sunk. Four days after it disappeared, the submarine was discovered and all 53 crew members died.

What is the cause of this tragedy?

For this fatal accident, the official has not yet given a specific cause. People have different opinions about this tragedy. Although Indonesian officials said that the submarine discovered an oil leak near its final position, they did not know the specific cause of the accident. It has not been finalized. The 53 crew members on board were crushed by the huge water pressure and slept forever on the bottom of the sea. This tragic incident has plunged the entire Indonesia into sorrow.

Some people say that this submarine cannot dive into the deep sea due to its limited displacement. But the depth of the water where the submarine lost contact completely exceeded the limit of the submarine's ability to dive. If an accident occurs on a deep-diving submarine, the possibility of self-rescue is very small. We can only rely on external rescue, and there are only a few countries in the submarine field that have the ability to rescue wrecked submarines, including China.

Indonesia should learn lessons

Indonesia should learn lessons from this tragic accident. Strengthen management during submarine training to maximize the safety of submarine personnel. Russia's approach in this regard is far beyond that of its peers. Russia has learned from historical experience and lessons and equipped submarines with active rescue cabins. This setting has largely helped the submarine crews escape.
