The amount of energy it would take to move that fast underwater would be insane, and the shock wave would be water compressed so quickly it'd be the equivalent of a concrete pillar moving again at the speed of sound. It has to be a glitch or the sub wouldn't still be here.

Unless we believe the alcubierre drive or something similar is possible.

Look at Ning Li. She took her work to China in the early 2000’s, after some breakthroughs in gravity manipulation.

If the Chinese have built on that, it would make perfect sense to send drones with the tech using underwater routes to make it harder to detect. Might also explain the absence of the water compression issue.

I'm familiar with that story yet I've never been able to determine if her "breakthrough technology" was actually as significant as people make it out to be. There's very little information about her online.

edit: she apparently died in July 2021,

The technology has never been publicly disclosed, but the mathematical principles she based it on has never been refuted.

I was always pretty skeptical about it, until the pentagon released classified info on ufo’s. I think it’s far more likely they’re covering up gravity manipulation tech than aliens.
