Way to go Brits... (how did they have one so close?)
Now on to another matter... This sub did not look like any military vehicle - (7 man?) So what was it doing participating in a Military Exercise? Does this call into question any Russian claims for peacefull use of these gaudily painted subs?
What I read today indicated that the sub is a rescue vehicle itself. It is small and only holds 7 men so that it can assist larger, trapped submarines. It was supposed to be on a training mission (rescue training).
I'd have to think it would be small enough to throw on some kind of transport plane.

From things I've read, I don't think it was a "military sub".

It could be a dual use kinda deal, like a truck. IMO, it may have been sent down to check to see if we were eavesdropping on them, as part of preparation for their upcoming war games. If we don't have possible eye we can come up with (hopefully, and not get caught) to watch them play their games with China, our military is not doing it's job.
I have no doubt they will need to check it again, since there was a British robot in their neighborhood today. Hopefully, their next check will be accomplished without another hitch, as I'm sure the embarrassment would be too much for them to ask for help so soon after this time.
