Looks like there are a lot of Russian subs now used by other countries. Could be that the other countries' crews are suffering from inexperience or overconfidence with their new toys.

Perhaps. If so, expect the UN to issue new undersea regulations that hamper operations by the USN and HRN shortly to "level the playing field".

LOL

So who listens to the UN these days, heheh.    ;^D

Seriously, I don't think China, Russia, or India would give a second thought to such UN undersea regs.   But, we might, if W was not in charge.   My impression is that W and his military advisors would use more common sense and sound military principles in determining what regs. to maintain, especially since knowing that potential enemies don't play by the rules.
