BREAKING: Russian Nuclear Attack Sub Detected In Atlantic Ocean; Near East Coast

umm..isn't the line for international waters exactly 200 miles offshore?
...in fact I'm almost 100% sure it is.
...so doubt very much the US Navy was tracking Russian subs within 50 miles.

That would have had them panicking for sure!

A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine cruised within 200 miles of the East Coast recently in the latest sign Russia is continuing to flex its naval and aerial power against the United States, defense officials said.

The submarine was identified by its NATO designation as a Russian Seirra-2 class submarine believed to be based with Russia’s Northern Fleet. It was the first time that class of Russian submarine had been detected near a U.S. coast, said officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of anti-submarine warfare efforts.

One defense official said the submarine was believed to have been conducting anti-submarine warfare efforts against U.S. ballistic and cruise missile submarines based at Kings Bay, Georgia.

I was there and met some of the Russian sailors. Traded a lot of new in box USN Zippos that day in exchange for some of their uniform pins. Really nice looking enameled metal Soviet emblems and so forth.

Just one big happy family. Wake up sheep.

Yeah, that's nice and all, but we were a much different nation when Reagan was president.

You sounds scared. Good luck with that.

check the hamptonroads link. Russian warship docked at Navel Base Norfolk last summer.

They pulled this same stunt in '08.

Sleeping Giant is the greatest band in existence.

παράνοια ?

I'm just coruios who's free bacon?

When it comes to paranoia, the Russian federation have no equals.

:P

give examples? :P

Ok motherfuckers! Keep playing... just keep fucking playing. Russia is going to learn a very fucking hard lesson.

We haven't even begun to dish out drama. They keep asking for it.... we'll bitch slap their asses back to the Bolshevik Revolution.

Alexander Litvinenko?

The are always there. Nothing new here. Btw - we are also right off their coast.

Why would the USA allow this sub to get so close to the East Coast???

what Alexander Litvinenko?

We have far superior technology than you can imagine here.

The Russians are beginning to wake up to that new reality, and they don't like it.

Unfortunately for them, there isn't a damned thing they can do about it now.

It's too bad that the Russians are unaware that the USA can eliminate the threat of ALL Russian nuclear weapons, and can penetrate their air defenses.

In other words, if the Russians ever get stupid, the USA can annihilate them without any retaliation from Russia.

All of those secret space missions paid off!

In the end, it's purely defensive, unless they get all stupid, then, well... It wont be that secret anymore.

Russia would be better off to stand down, shift to a more open capitalist economy and rise above all of it.

Too bad it is still dominated by old Soviet era relics from the past. Dangerous people, like Putin and others...

We wouldn't have had to spend those trillions and hide it to build and implement superior technologies.

Putin's weaknesses have always been stronger than his strengths.

Our strength is hidden in Russia's illusion of our weakness.

Has been for a few years now. :P

You no longer have mutually assured destruction, only the illusion that we do.

For now, that will do.

lol
