NATO may not, but aside from the U.S., NATO has a minuscule ASW force. Our ASW forces, on the other hand, are modernized and still superior in number, training, and effectiveness vs the Russians. The Russians still rely on their submarine fleet for their capital ships and that fleet is an order of magnitude smaller than in its cold war prime. They are dangerous but not fearless. They may cause havoc but they will still lose.

Quite a sensational headline.......

The cold war “build up” of Russian forces in intelligence, defense, and media circles has begun again. At the end of the cold war, when the fog was lifted, we found out that their military was nowhere near as mighty as we had made it out to be.

Simply pointing that out. I won’t discount the danger of submarines, but saying their sub fleet “could be” unstoppable is absurd. Perfect illustration of how news headlines become more and more like the tabloids at the checkout counter? Click bait. Write something like this about anything and people go “oh my gosh” and they email it to their friends and post it on fakebook and the cycle repeats with clicks galore = money for the author and host website.

Awesome quote -

“Putin’s band of nuclear powered death machines have already reportedly breached UK waters”

Great stuff. Sounds like a trailer for a new Marverl movie.

... and only Avengers can stop them.
Oh, and Batman.

“A report by naval experts warns that Russia already has a small but sophisticated army of subs which are capable of launching missile strikes across the globe.”

The crew is made up of reptiloids. Submarines are using romulan cloaking devices and armed with photon torpedoes.

Quickly, nuke Russia before it’s too late!

“It’s probably the most shadowy part of the Russian undersea apparatus. It’s not operated by their navy, it’s operated by a separate branch of their Ministry of Defense.”

Hail Hydra!

No matter how many times this article is recycled, it’s still bullshit.

I’m more worried about the demoncrats starting a war than Russia. They’re the stable country...we’re NOT.

Rule #1 for reading press reports of new Russian weapons;

They always have magical capabilities, defying the laws of physics.

When did army become a nautical term?
