#1 "The submarine was sighted after it surfaced due to weather-related conditions, Malaya said"

Okay, that is a non-sensical statement.

#2 ^ The diesel snorkel has rough surface limits.

#3 Unfamiliar with the Kilo capabilities;
I seem to remember that WWII diesel subs etc. across the board had fits during poor nighttime weather - surface and roll with the weather to vent/recharge, or submerge for a safer ride but not do the needed vent/recharge.

That said, it is hard to imagine a Cold War era Sub being forced to surface because of weather unless they had already been pushed to limits.

I guess, they didn't do an emergency breech and sink a fishing vessel.
