I haven't read the doctrine files to confirm it, but the Russian subs have HF Sonar arrays which double as both an "ice thickness sensor" and a passive detector for static objects such as mines and other stationary objects, like a sub. I know the one on a Kilo Improved works up to roughly 3km. If you are real close, chances are the HF array detected you, giving him a solution. The ACTUV Tactics sim, built with the DW engine, also models HF arrays and if the target is in range, it is busted by the array, no questions asked. Being silent won't help. I am certain it is the same in DW. How far away were you from the Victor when this occured?
