How will this help the US and her allies better evaluate the capabilities, or gather data off of the Akula (assuming it is an Akula based off of the photo) during these exercises?

Conversely, how much data could the Akula pick up on Nato warships etc?

Did you miss the sly reference he was actually making?

Old enough to take a gunshot for the Motherland, but not old enough to take a ***shot from a horny subsimmer?

Would love to know the context of that foto.
The kid in the background looks about 8 or so.
Maybe a promo photo with kids or something?
I reckon that girl wouldn't be 18. If she was, then i'd be mega surprised.

That's a little... too vulgar if you ask me. Maybe I'm sensitive but common

Saves them buzzing over previous NATO operations with aircraft, can be now done directly.

Something along the lines of the Russian Sea Cadets I think. Part of the Baltic Fleet based on the hat.

Another photo of her...

Aaah, the Baltic fleet, two rowing boats and a Kilo isn't it?

I must admit, the Baltic fleet always confused me, because if any war with NATO happened, there would be no chance of getting the Baltic fleet into the Med through the Bosporus unless you shuttled it out before the outbreak of war.
Still, can't win them all I guess.

The Russians are coming, I love that film, Whiskey on the Rocks

Anyway, I'm not surprised about the submarine rescue exercise, I mean, no offense but they could do with learning a few things from us.
