According to the Avia.pro news agency, an American Virginia-class nuclear submarine was discovered today at 10.40 am Moscow time in the Pacific Fleet exercise area off the Kuril island of Urup. How exactly a foreign submarine managed to successfully pass Russian warships, including those equipped with special equipment, remains to be seen, however, despite the fact that the submarine was found in Russian waters, the latter managed to successfully evade Russian warships.
“On February 2022, 10.40 at XNUMX (Moscow time) in the area of the planned exercise of the forces of the Pacific Fleet in the territorial waters of the Russian Federation near the island of Urup of the Kuril ridge, a US Navy submarine of the Virginia type was discovered.
A message was transmitted to the crew of the submarine in Russian and English in the underwater communication mode: “You are in the territorial waters of Russia. Come up immediately!” The demand of the Russian side was ignored. “In accordance with the guidelines for the protection of the state border of the Russian Federation in the underwater environment, the crew of the frigate of the Pacific Fleet “Marshal Shaposhnikov” used appropriate means”, – representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Sources specify that the American submarine, despite the presence of Russian warships, managed to successfully evade persecution – special equipment was used that made it possible to hide the real direction of movement of the nuclear submarine.

The West’s persistence in hyping the “Russian threat” rhetoric is intended to hampers diplomatic efforts to avoid further escalation.
This is a normal practice during exercises. Russia does that too.
As our Ukrainian neighbors say, it’s not a shame to jerk off, it’s a shame to get caught doing this.
Of course, no one will sink a nuclear submarine in territorial waters. At the very least, this is an environmental disaster. To discover and drive out in disgrace – yes.
