...Interesting that very little coverage could be found on this several day exercise in the MSM , and what I did find was pictures of the older Bear class bombers and not the newer and more sophisticated hardware. So , does anyone recall what happened to mother Russia when we simultaneously parked all of those subs on their back door ? Thats right , they fell , and by the way, 1983 was put in checkmate.

During the Cold War, American attack subs would saddow Soviet subs as they left their bases on the Kola Peninsula.

USS Batfish (SSN-681) trailed a Soviet Yankee class boat for 44 days in 1978 during an operation called "Evening Star".

Batfish gained valuable info about the Soviet Yankee class SSBN.

And on every one of these type threads the Russia apologists and Putin defenders/admirers [yes, we actually have a few) come out from under their little rocks attempting to excuse, minimize or dismiss any aggressive actions on the part of the Russians.
