Loggerheads.

From Australian Internet media and thanks to same.

Captured. Chinese UUV. Unmanned underwater vehicle.

"Sinister catch exposes China’s underwater spies on Australia’s doorstep"

"An unexpected catch has revealed Beijing’s sneaky underwater spying activities right on Australia’s doorstep – a scary new escalation in tensions."

"Three undersea spy drones have been caught in Indonesian waters. They appear to be a Chinese design, and they were in shipping lanes crucial for Australia’s security."

Chinese UUV as shown for a sense of scale. I imagine you can proliferate an area with these the data take immense.

UNTIL RELATIVELY RECENTLY AUSTRALIA ONE OF THE TWO NATIONS IN THE WORLD WITH A GOVERNMENTAL REVENUE SURPLUS. ALMOST [?] EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE EXPORT OF RAW MATERIALS TO CHINA. IRON ORE AND COAL.

Now China and Australia at loggerheads. Continual disclosures and confrontation resulting much less that cordial relations?

"loggerheads - - quarrelling, opposed, feuding, at odds, estranged, in dispute, at each other's throats, at daggers drawn, at enmity "
