The submarine Haikun emitted white smoke before leaving the port. Military experts revealed a special purpose

Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Safety and Development Association, emphasized that on the morning of October 13, before the Haikun left Kaohsiung Port, it turned on the main engine and emitted white smoke, in order to let the outside world see clearly that the test was successful.

[Reporter Hong Dinghong/Reporting from Kaohsiung] Although the Taiwanese ship and the navy have repeatedly claimed that the sea survey of the submarine "Hai Kun" is proceeding according to the established plan, there are less than two months left before the promised delivery date of the submarine "Hai Kun" by the end of this year, and external doubts remain. However, Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Security Development Association, emphasized that on the morning of October 13, the Haikun turned on the main engine and emitted white smoke before it left Kaohsiung Port. The purpose was to let the outside world see clearly that the test was successful.

Ji Dongyun pointed out that October 13th was the 24th sea test and the 18th submersible test of the Haikun. In the past, the main engine was not turned on until it left the seawall of Kaohsiung Port 2. Because it was too far from the shore, the outside world could not witness it. Only the photos provided by the Taiwanese ship were seen.

Ji Dongyun said that while the Haikun was parked at the dock for adjustment, it mainly used the power system on the shore and used the diesel engine for charging, so it was all turned on when leaving the port for sea testing. On the morning of October 13, before the Haikun left Kaohsiung Port, it turned on the main engine and emitted white smoke. The purpose was to let the outside world see clearly that the test was successful.

Ji Dongyun reiterated that the Haikun is Taiwan's first prototype submarine. It cannot be completed in one step and must be revised step by step. Moreover, no ship in the world can be delivered in completely zero conditions. In particular, the prototype ship must undergo repeated adjustments and optimizations to meet actual combat needs.
