Just another government ploy to get more of our money.
If it was a threat we would not be talking about right now would we?

Re: Russian Nuclear Attack Sub Patrolled Gulf of Mexico Undetected- For Several Weeks!!
A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it left the region, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

It is only the second time since 2009 that a Russian attack submarine has patrolled so close to U.S. shores.

The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow.

The submarine patrol also exposed what U.S. officials said were deficiencies in U.S. anti-submarine warfare capabilities—forces that are facing cuts under the Obama administration’s plan to reduce defense spending by $487 billion over the next 10 years.




The Navy is in charge of detecting submarines, especially those that sail near U.S. nuclear missile submarines, and uses undersea sensors and satellites to locate and track them.

The fact that the Akula was not detected in the Gulf is cause for concern, U.S. officials said.

The officials who are familiar with reports of the submarine patrol in the Gulf of Mexico said the vessel was a nuclear-powered Akula-class attack submarine, one of Russia’s quietest submarines.

A Navy spokeswoman declined to comment.

One official said the Akula operated without being detected for a month.

It's not surprising that it was an Akula 2 that did this. Some sources place it's dive depth at 3,000 feet. A Seawolf is rated at 2,000 feet.

So basically, an Akula can sneak along at a quiet 5 knots underneath all other subs.

A dog fight with a Seawolf or a Los Angeles class sub is a totally different matter. I would place my bet on the Seawolf/Virginia/LA class subs.

Not sure why the Russians did this. They are either testing U.S. defenses or they ran out of Cuban cigars.

Not too sure if this is even surprising... We've played these "games" for decades with subs on both sides of the pond, and we only "know" because it was allowed to be known. It would surprise me in no way to learn that they've always been there. Not being caught is the key to the game. It's what they do folks, and if you think American subs always stayed out of territorial waters of any nation, you're crazy :) That's not how this game works...

they pulled the same crap when I was in the navy during Reagan's first term . We tried sinking one of their subs off the coast of LA , fired torpedoes at it , they never told us if we hit it or not . We had numerous run ins with them until Reagan had every sub the Russians tailed and at the same time all over the world they were hit with active sonar from behind to let them know their whole submarine fleet could have been sunk .

The article seems to be more anti-obummer and for increased military funding than an act of intimidation. We really don't think that we're the only country with this type of capabilities, do we? If so i guess its a reality check for those who think we are the only game in town. cold war is alive and well, and its election year bs. The navy might have known they were there all along and didn't tell anyone just to strengthen the alleged need for increased military funding.

And then?

There was a cruise missile that wasn't detected by Norad untill it passed over the Bahama's..it went over t\florida before Norad scrambled. They lost track of the target over Indiana. The Russues are Fuching with us to see just what our capabilities are. Look at what they did with the launches over Israel! We are all dead!!!!
