This is the first time that captures of the new class of Chinese submarines were released. But it doesn't seem to be the Type 039A submarine, or its variants (B, C). It is estimated it is about 160 feet long or just over 48 meters. It looks like Chinese MS200 Midget Submarine.

The Type 039A submarine (Yuan class) is a class of diesel-electric submarine in China's People's Liberation Army Navy. It is China's first AIP-powered submarine and is presumed to be one of the quietest diesel-electric submarine classes in service.

The class of submarines has a length of 77.6 m, a beam of 8.4 m, and a draft of 6.7 m, she can reach a top speed of 20 knots (37 km/h).

The Type 039A has six 533 mm (21 in) torpedo tubes. These can be used to launch indigenous torpedoes such as Yu-6 as well as Russian-made torpedoes.
