Vladimir Putin has deployed nuclear submarines to the Pacific Ocean as part of a surprise set of drills. Footage from the Russian Ministry of Defence purports to show at least one of the submarines leaving a port in Kamchatka before at least half a dozen of the submersibles are shown at sea with the coast in the background. The ministry said that the drills were intended to “test the Pacific Fleet’s readiness to repel aggression”.

We wouldn’t be facing this if Donald Trump was in the White House.
Kamchatka? Last seen on a Risk board.
Irkutsk. Kirkusk. I was like 10 years old. ugh....
Tomorrow’s headline. Russian Sub sinks, all hands lost.
Didn’t I just read Putin fired his head if his pacific fleet be caused they bitched an exercise?
The article says “At LEAST One... submaring left port”... so the other five could not leave under their own power and each seems to have a tug towing them (or pushing them along then separating for the two “in line” photos). That it?
Or maybe they are Alphas from long ago, now all rusting in the graveyard— and this is a really old photo?
Correction— submarine not submaring... sheesh.
You did. Apparently the good admiral had been in charge for 11 years. I don’t know what happened but things apparently did not go well in the exercises. One possibility is that numerous ships broke down and had to be towed back to port. That would ruin most admiral’s careers quite effectively.
It seems military games were a cover for blowing up Nordstream pipeline with the help of Norway, oh my. What are these people doing, when war games get hot and politicians mess where they shouldn’t
Referring to these submarines as "submersibles" is like calling modern oil tankers "windjammers."
