Flooded pakistani submarine communications facility

Flood damage in a Pakistani submarine communications facility

This is a very expensive military facility built to communicate with submarines while they’re on a mission. Pakistanis constructed this in Sindh with Chinese help. Unfortunately for them, the facility was flooded and a lot of delicate & hugely expensive equipment damaged in 2022.

It was supposed to be fully operational by the time they got their new AIP equipped diesel submarines.But the floods caused extensive damage and I am not sure whether it has been fully repaired yet or not.

Pakis were demanding USD 16-18 billion as aid for flood damages. guess a large percentage was meant for this military facility. They did get ~50 million which would have helped repair this base at least.

P.S: There was a satellite photo on Google Maps of a regular Paki army base, which showed most of it under water. Flooded area including the reinforced storage bunkers meant to store munitions. Will post it if I find it again.
