Theyre doing their part, are we doing ours?
Since we know about the presence of the Russian boat, we obviously are doing our job. It was likely tracked and followed since it left its' home port.
This is nothing new. Back during the cold war whenever we left port, there was a Soviet trawler out in international waters watching us leave and reporting our movements. It's part of the game.
What is surprising is that this info was leaked...I don't understand what's to be gained by telling Ivan that we know their boat is there. Now that they know that we know, they know our ASW capabilities are superior to their stealth capabilities. Why hand them that info?

Didn’t russians play a game with their bombers, where they flew them out in a hostile fashion, then play a game of chicken? Was it Iceland they flew at, then turned around?

Not a big deal, we do this sort of stuff all the time, and the Russians do it as much as they can, which will be steadily more.
This is intelligence and training not threatening or or Sabre rattling. Rarely have mistakes been made and the Russians have moved away from their communist cold war paranoia, so more are less likely.

Yes, I remember this, Many times coming into and out of
Chesapeake we would see these Russian trawlers with a lot of radio antennas. Strange thing was, for being a fishing boat, you didn’t see any sea gulls around it.
