The mysterious tank, which was discovered while floating in Indonesian waters in the past months, was brought ashore and it is not known where it came from. If we give brief information about this subject; In the statements made by the navy officials, it was stated that this tank, which is similar to the tanks made by the USA and China, was brought ashore after spending a week on the water surface.

Noting that the discovered mysterious vehicle is a replica, army officials stated that the tank had many features of modern combat vehicles, was carefully prepared, and could float on the surface of the water for a long time because it was empty. Now, due to the natural disaster that the country has been through, it has been decided to change the capital. So, in this article, we will try to find an answer to the question of why.

Nusantara Becomes New Capital of Indonesia

Most of the 10 million people in Jakarta do not have access to clean water and are forced to rely on wells to deplete potable groundwater. And now the city sinks into the Javanese Sea that surrounds the capital. Because of this situation, it was necessary to change the capital. The flooding, pollution, sinking soil, and congestion have become so catastrophic that it’s actually completely changing the country’s capitals.

According to the New York-based Associated Press, the government is picking up the nation’s capital and moving it to the city of Nusantara on the island of Borneo. It sounds easy in theory, but according to current plans, about 8,000 civil servants relocating to the new capital by 2024 is a challenge. One-third of Jakarta may be flooded and there is no clear information yet on how ordinary non-officers are expected to act or what will happen to people who cannot move.
