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.

We have been searching for this Sub for a couple days now. The resurgent Russian threat and Obama whispers to Medvedev to tell that nutcase PUTIN that he will have more flexibility after the election. This is serious threat to our national security and where is the media? No CBS,ABC,NBC,CNN, NYT, POST, etc nothing not a peep can't make Obama look bad right before election... This can't end soon enough.

I guess Obama will have more flexibility if he wins to allow the Russian navy to establish permanent ports in Virginia and New York City

CNC orders are not to stop or interfere with foreign vessels - it is too white a history and must be stopped.

Vote the Nut-In-Chief out of the White House tomorrow, and, if things stay calm enough until the Inaugural, this crap will stop.

Especially Obama's fleet of ships that go underwater.

[realcleanguy]

Well if that don’t beat all??? Since when do we allow Russia to walk all over us, or in this case sail or seas within our limitations without challenge?

[Typical_Whitey]

No doubt the Russians were hosting some Iranian officials onboard to show them just how much of a threat their partnership will have on the USA.

Both of 0bama’s parents MET in Russian language class and we know that 0bama’s identification documents are all fraudulent or forged. Who’s he workin’ for? I hope he doesn’t get the chance to be ‘flexible’ with Russia. He may be an agent for Russia from the get-go.

"It was the first time that class of Russian submarine had been detected near a U.S. coast, said officials ..."

This cannot be true.

Wasn't there a sub near our coasts a few years ago?

In some respects the “side story” of a Russian AGI, which is a floating intellgence gathering and electronics intercept station, entering a U.S. port is even more alarming. These are ocean going vessels that could easily move to safer waters to avoid the storm, which they had more than ample warning of. These ships are serious threats to our Navy, make no mistake about it.

"Especially Obama's fleet of ships that go underwater."

Do we really have those? Next you will tell me that we have these things that planes land on or some silly thing about how we don't have as many bayonets and horses anymore.

You can't fool me.

I guess the Chinese have better ships because they are never spotted off the West Coast.

[Starboard]

Note in the quote it says “that class” or particular type of submarine.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

A sub full of fraudulent ballots..

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yes.

[lonevoice]

I would bet anything that you’re right about the west coast too.

[1_Rain_Drop]

I kind of did notice “that class” but if it is its maiden voyage then I guess it would be a first time. The sub that was here a few years ago may also have the same designation at the time.

This is disturbing.
