Warzone/The Drive: A Vietnamese Fisherman Reeled In A Chinese Torpedo In The South China Sea
It's now in the hands of the Vietnamese military and they will likely pick it apart for any intelligence value.
Vietnamese fisherman Tran Minh Thanh landed an unusual catch the other day, finding what appears to be a Chinese torpedo off the country's coast. Under the watchful eye of local border guards, Tran dragged it ashore where onlookers got a chance to see it before government officials took it away for further inspection.
Tran reportedly found the torpedo more than four miles out to sea from his village in Vietnam's central Phu Yen province, which would be within the country's national waters, on Dec. 18, 2018.
