Um, so do we.
Gee it isn’t like this is something new.
Man, the left and their media sure have a sudden thing for Russia. Where were they in the Cold War? Russia must be doing something right.
They’re just trying to justify Hillary’s hawkishness to the pacifists.
Right now, the Democrats are more of a threat to this Country than Vladdie Putin.
Focus.... focus....
capable of diving in excess of several thousand meters.
Duuuhhhhh...this may sound stupid, but if they are secret, how do we know they have them and how do we know they are so super?
Under the unvetted Islamic imposter, known as
Obama without Birth Certificate, the Pentagon and CIA
arm and support al Qaeda, and the US Navy
will cry before even the Iranian Navy.
Only Hasan and his protectors are protected TO THIS DAY.
What hogwash.
Russian subs are a bigger threat to their own crews.
Nothing the size of a sub is impossible to track.
That would be a navy of subs, wifflebrain.
Wait wut? When Romney told the people that Russian resurgence was a threat to America obama said he was stuck in the 80s. What happened?
I guess the Chinese, who are the much bigger threat, bribed Hillary with more money. They keep this up and the Demonrat Communists are going to their old ally raining down a shitstorm on them.
This is deeply disturbing. Maybe Kerry can hire Pussy Riot to stop Vlad.
All I can say is that Ike was right on whom to be aware of.
Bullshit.
Weren’t the Russian subs unable to fire ballistic missiles for years and years because of screwups
At one time in the early 1960’s the U.S. Navy was looking into the possibility of stationing icbm missile subs in the Great Lakes. Those would be hard for an enemy to hit.
It isn’t the secret super submarine fleet you need to worry over.
It’s the secret super-duper submarine fleet that should have everyone scared.
On the real side of things
Rostov -on- Don (Vashavyanka-class)
Russians have already used them against ISIS and al Qaeda. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu with Russia President Vladimir Putin recently held a televised meeting and broadcast footage of the submarines striking at ISIS targets.
This Russian sub can remain submerged for 45 days. Weighing in at 4,000 tons, it is very small and very fast and can cruise at an underwater speed of 20 knots. Because of its small size, it is able to get into *shallow water*.
Because it is so quiet, it leaves no sound signature. It becomes invisible. (a bit of hype) But D-E subs are very quiet.
Several are now taking up residence just off the coast of Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Israel.
They have real teeth as well.
“The Kalibr cruise missile is a highly efficient weapon as was amply proved by the recent launches from the Rostov-on-Don submarine. Kalibr missiles will be installed on the modernized Project 971 submarines,” Kochemazov said.
The Rostov-on-Don submarine the admiral is referring to is an improved Project 636.3 Kilo-class (aka Vashavyanka-class) diesel-electric submarine purportedly one of the quietest diesel subs in the world. It is primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface-ship warfare (ASuW).

Russia’s new Project 885 nuclear attack boats are no joke either.
